Mini bio
How it started.
Monet began The Traveling Child in 2016 after a friend encouraged her to share the trips she was already taking with her young family. In her CREATOR interview, she recalled being on maternity leave and planning a trip to Colombia with her second daughter. She became a full-time creator in 2018.
A family with a point of view.
With James, Jordyn and Kennedy, Monet builds itineraries around places families might overlook. Affordability is part of the story, too: she shares flight-deal resources and planning advice. Her work has grown to include solo trips, couples getaways and breaks with friends.
From posts to books.
Her first children’s book, The Traveling Child Goes to Rio de Janeiro, came out in 2019. Based on the family’s 2018 Brazil trip and told from her daughters’ perspectives, it brings Black children into travel stories where Monet felt they were missing.
Beyond her own channels.
Monet has contributed to The Points Guy and Essence and was part of the Black Travel Alliance’s 2020 launch team. In 2026, Lonely Planet included her in its founding class of correspondents, representing family travel.
