Monique Ball continues to break stereotypes society has and continues to place on her. Very early on, education empowered her to her first job in broadcasting and has been her cornerstone as she moved up the ladder in digital advertising prior to transitioning to be a stay at home mom and most recently a licensed real estate agent.

In this episode of The Nine Oh Six, Monique highlights how she decided at age nine that she was not going to be the 'stereotype' that society expected her to be. She discusses how going to a historically black university gave her an opportunity to live four years as one of the majority, preparing and empowering her for the rest of her life as a minority. She finally challenges us to be curious, as she believes curiosity drives connection.
