Fashion-forward, athletic, cultured and full of personality. All of these traits describe WNBA player, Monique Billings. Born on May 2, 1996, Monique isn't a stranger to being an underdog. Many underestimated her talent and counted her out, but she proved them all wrong when she was drafted by the Atlanta Dream in the 2018 WNBA Draft. Most are not afforded the opportunity to do something they love, which is something Monique recognizes. This is why she took full of advantage of the opportunities presented to her during her student-athlete journey at UCLA. While attending the university, Monique discovered and explored her love for sports broadcasting, modeling and self-improvement.

Always looking to inspire and empower others, Monique aims to be a voice and light for women and girls trying to figure out everyday life just like she is.
