Today we’d like to introduce you to Monique Maxwell
Hi Monique, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
The foundation of this brand is my passion for helping people. So many of us waste our days in a haze of negativity, but my dream is to help you push beyond that and create change in your heart and the world.
Get past the negativity one shirt, one hat, one hoodie at a time. Each one bears a powerful message not only for you, but for the whole world.
For over 30 years, I have been teaching yoga. So many people think of yoga and think it’s about certain poses or postures—but it’s so much more than that. I’ve helped students push past their fears and live powerful lives of speaking their truth. When I decided to break out and start something of my own, I wanted to share that feeling of freedom with the world.
My background in fashion pushed me to create this line. Each message is based on my life experiences, the questions I grapple with, and the inspiration I’ve found to ring true. They start conversations, serve as reminders in the mirror, and create change.
I hope an inspiring shirt from Be a Kind Human can be your first step toward freely speaking your truth and embodying your beliefs.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Life isn’t smooth 🙂 I’m continually learning as the world shifts, with our political challenges, economic ups and downs and the world of covid.
I have had challenging conversations with people about their dislike of my product. There are some people that will walk by and say something rude to me or their friend about the message Be a Kind Human. I constantly stunned how that message is offensive to some. It’s motivation for me to keep showing up.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
As a yoga teacher I choose to help others face their physical, mental, and emotional challenges. As the body unwinds, as we move between ease and discomfort we have the ability to shift our perspectives and shed light on what doesn’t serve us any longer. We can greet the emotion or the memory with shame and anger or maybe we can look to it and ask “What can this teach me?” or “How can I evolve from this experience?”
As a person who is challenged with depression and a brain injury I have had plenty of moments where I feel pretty unhappy with myself. But my greatest desire is to watch how I can shift my thinking and love myself greater. I hope as a teacher as a person who makes these designs that I can do that for others.
