In March, we celebrate National Women’s History Month by honoring the remarkable achievements of women across the globe. Among these stories of strength and determination, Monique Smith’s journey stands out as a testament to resilience and empowerment. Monique’s path from being an Unidentified Missing Person and Abducted Child to becoming an award-winning author, advocate, and powerful storyteller is nothing short of inspiring. Her unwavering commitment to raising awareness about missing and exploited children has made her a beacon of hope and change in her community and beyond. Through her advocacy work, Monique sheds light on the darkest corners of society, bringing attention to issues that often go unnoticed.
Her story has gained recognition from esteemed organizations like the NAACP Image Awards Baltimore Branch and has been featured in major media outlets such as People Magazine, HBO, and the Baltimore Times. As a mother of four, Monique’s advocacy stems from her personal experiences and her desire to protect society’s most vulnerable.
Her documentary, “The Longest Living Jane Doe,” serves as a powerful tool in her mission to create a world where no child goes missing or falls victim to exploitation. Monique Smith’s journey underscores the power of resilience, determination, and belief in the potential for change.
