We had the good fortune of connecting with Alexandria Monet and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Alexandria, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
My thought behind starting my business by becoming an actress is by far the best decision I made for my career. I knew I wanted to be a superstar and when the pandemic hit I knew I had to start doing something or it worldly never happen! Do or Die. So I got back to doing what I loved and I have been becoming so successful with it!

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
What sets me apart from others is my perseverance. I continue to push forward no matter haw hard or difficult things get. I always continue to push forward and do the things that I need to do no matter what. I am so proud to be signed to the agency YJB Talent that continues to allow me to live out my dreams as a successful working actress. I got to where I am professionally by staying true to myself and working constantly and being consistent no only with the craft but also with my career. Pursuing your dreams and aspirations are never easy. I have never heard lore no’s in my life till I became an actress. I over come my challenges by working hard and praying, meditating and constantly putting one foot in front of the other. The lessons I’ve learned was keep all of your wins to yourself and only put them out when they are completed. What people don’t know they can’t dust their negative energy on to it. I want the world to know that just cause it’s hard doesn’t mean you should give up. Also during the darkest moments in your life you will be tested but always create your own light no one can ever dim.stay true to yourself.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Definitely to the battery in ATLANTA. It’s dope and the food at some of those places are really good. I would take her to the Flying Biscuit they have really good breakfast. Some museums in the city. Six Flags, the hole in the wall food places, the city in specific is lit to me.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
My Family and my friends. They both keep me thriving and lifted up in my career. There are moments where I feel discouraged because I feel like my career isn’t moving fast enough and maybe I’m not doing enough, but they help me hold my head up. There are here for all of the things I accomplish and even all of my shortcomings. I couldn’t be more grateful and more blessed to have them in my life.
