In Episode 16 of The Hello Effect Podcast, we sit down with comedian, actress, and powerhouse storyteller Monique Latise—a woman who's turned pain into punchlines and purpose.

Monique takes us on a powerful ride through her roots in Paterson, NJ, the real-life struggles that shaped her voice, and how the church, comedy clubs, and even prison visits played roles in her evolution as a performer.

She opens up about bombing at Showtime At The Apollo, the hard truths of being a woman in comedy, and how open mics led her to the iconic Caroline's Comedy Club stage.
