FashionSteeleNYC l am watching from London and American Black women are a true inspiration you push and push you deserve every bit of success you have beautiful spirit shine girl. Now l need to work on rekindling my blogging and podcast. Wow Thanku for sharing. 👊🏾❤️🔥🔥
💖 inspiration to me 💥
Continue to give God "thanks" and stay humble, and He will continue to supply all your needs.
I always come back to this video when I feel like giving up on my entrepreneurial journey. Your testimony always get my mind back on track, especially seeing where you are now! I truly appreciate this video.
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Most people go thru life not realizing there true passion in life. When you find a job you're passionate about isn't a job.
God is a provider + a way maker girl. Very happy for you Monroe!!
Thanks for being transparent....your story is inspirational.
I just started watching you a few weeks and gurllllll can I tell you I go to sleep and wake up watching your videos. You are such an inspiration! I am 44 and have been struggling with my purpose. Right now I’m still lost. In 2018 I lost my job because to honest I just gave up. I worked there for 7 years and while at first I loved it, it later became my biggest headache. What I was giving them I definitely was not receiving. I started just not giving a damn and literally hated everybody there. And I’m not a hateful person. Moving forward I would literally pass out at work at least once a week. It was embarrassing and very unprofessional. Since I was let go, I’ve just been on this journey of several different underpaying jobs and low self esteem. Then I found you!!!!! I want to say thank you for sharing your life, hope and dreams with us. You give me life!!!!
Hello there,
I'm usually not a person to post comments but I truly appreciate how open you are. l absolutely love your benevolent spirit, your style, and your personality. Continue being as humble as you are and good luck with your journey. Take care
Congratulations! Going through the same at the moment, trying to decide whether or not to leave a full time job to pursue my goals and it feels crazily daunting. I cried with you about your Aunt, yes the Universe, God, Higher Power will always provided. Thank you.
I'm also planning on leaving my 8-5 job by the end of the year and take the next leap.
You aint gone have me just out here crying, snotting and high-fiving my phone!!!!!!!! Such an inspiring journey.xoxoxo
When one door close another opens. Life is a book. .you have to turn the page.
Tears tears and more tears. One day, lil Sis one day, I'll share my story & you'll know why I appreciate you & your journey here in NYC! May The Most High continue to order your steps, may you be blessed beyond any human understanding.
Dearest Monroe, OMG... I decided to watch how you first started blogging. It was exactly what I needed today. I cried with you because I adore fashion/style and know the feeling of fear around our divine gifts. I'm a baby boomer so you can understand when we have doubt for many years it's sometimes hard to delete the shit! Lol. I wanted you to know you're one of my favorite bloggers because of your determination, work ethic and passion. I'm working on my style channel and when I get stuck I watch your videos for inspiration. You are a beautiful human being and I appreciate your gifts. We are different generations but I feel a kindred spirit in YOU. Congratulations on trusting yourself, look what you've done! So proud of YOU. Blessings.
Girl, thank you for this video it literally brought tears to my eyes. I'm currently GROWING through a job transition, unfortunately the company that i've been with for 3.5 years has decided to terminate 600+ of our jobs and I feel like God is pushing me to do what I'm passionate about and have been for over 10 years which is also blogging, but every time i consider what comes with that I scare myself out of it. Your words have encouraged me so much, and the main thing that you said that stuck with me is "God will provide" and he will. Thank you for being REAL and transparent and showing us that its not always glitz and glam, that there is struggle that comes with chasing your dreams. Especially down to not having any money. I think we all can relate. God bless you!
You are so inspiring. And I want all of the Blessing that God has for you following your divine purpose!
I am so proud of you. A young woman that's doing something positive and inspiring. My daughter is in her 3rd year of becoming a pharmacy and I am ecstatic to see you young women pursuing and chasing after your dreams. I love it....God bless you. You are Wonderful
This video brought me to tears... so did the blog post. GOD is ALWAYS on time!!! I love love love ALL OF your content! I'm am SO SO SO happy I found you!!
I am going to have my teen daughters watch this. My husband and I are teaching them about saving and being prepared. Because you had your savings you were ready to step out on Faith and start your new journey and believe it or not even me your "OG subbie" am taking your message to heart and considering what fears I need to let go off to step fully into my destiny. I admire your transparency and your hard work. Keep up the good work .Keep acknowledging God...he delights in our Praise .
That was a sign, that song that was playing was by the late great Nipsey Hussle in the car “ Victory Lap”.... it really just went with the story that you were telling about your life... that was the universe just speaking in the background. If you haven’t listened to that cd , do so it’s powerful messages within his lyrics.💙🖤
Quitting your job was the best thing.... I walk from my work in the health field Lab Technician 10/2015; didn’t work for a year lost 3-4 months of sleep stress out over, what I was so use to having, even then loaning money’s to family and friends, on top of that help my daughter out with her stuff too! Felt like was losing my mind illegally; but the universe is real and good energy finally came my way! I don’t know your measure but I completely identify with what you dealt with, cause life is unforgivable at times; so continue to motor on be successful with your endeavors and challenge the status quo....nothing but Day Light a head. #MuchLove #Blessings
Now you have me crying at work. I'm a new subbie. Just happened upon your channel by chance... I think it was your cropover video. Kudos to you. Kudos to you for following your dreams... and kudos to your amazing aunt.
It's God, the creator of the universe, who provided for you. He will never let you down, continue to trust Him!
Girl... you brought tears to my eyes... I read your blog post about starting from the bottom and I was truly inspired. We all have our crosses to bear and as you rightfully stated, people look at the highlights in other people's lives but fail to see the struggle that comes with it. I was having a rough day and I can honestly say I feel a little better. I work in a male dominated world, and have been told numerous times that my Ph.D. simply/just/only means that I have conducted research at a certain level; and it became very obvious that this negative talk is geared towards limiting me. I will continue to fight and pray for God's favour to blow in my direction. Keep up the great work!
Truly a testimony. God is good all the time. He always provides! Keep creating and sharing. You’re amazing!
Whew! Not only did I feel this ... I was and am inspired by this! Keep pushin' sis!
As I binge on your videos planning something that I can't fully understand yet. I send you great thanks for your openness, honesty and courage. Indeed! God will always provide ...always!
Great story you inspire so many and know that you are being watched I’m older than you and been there done that and I tell you ......keep winning and I’m watching because I adore you and love your fashion style and teaching others how to WIN 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾😘😘😘😘😘
I had to come back to this today after 3 years. I’m about to turn in my notice at my full time job. I’m a private practice owner and I’ve been running my business part time. I’m nervous but like you as a licensed mental health therapist I can go back to work for someone else at anytime and I may for 1 more year. But for now a break and time to work on growing my business. You are an inspiration. And thank you.
I never liked watching long vlogs, until I started watching your channel. I wait for and watch all of your vlogs until the end! 🤣 I am a pharmacist and I work at night, so this helps me to stay awake. But mostly, your videos inspires me to keep pushing to do what I love. I purposely sought out tonight to watch some of your videos from your beginning versus your current status. When I found this video, it resonated with me so much! I too understand those financial struggles and those fortunate blessings that God sends when you least expect it! This video shows you deserve all of what you've accomplished thus far and it helps new influencers, such as myself, to keep grinding! I love who you've become and your transparency, but I am most grateful for videos like this which shows who you were, because it shows God at work! A work that He can do for us all. Thank you honey for keeping this video up and keep doing your thing! Much love. Kelly ❤
WATCHED AGAIN IN 2022❤❤❤🔥🔥
Here in 2022 - when I 1st saw this video I was new to watching
UA-cam and this really blessed me!!! I don't think I wrote anything then because I was too shy to do so but your openness really blessed me. I am writing this now more for myself because if i was honest I am trying to find my passion or maybe really walk in it even at this stage of my life. So very proud of you Monroe and where you are now and wishing you every success!!! God bless you!!
Thank you for speaking so candidly about your transition from existing as an employee to living like a boss! Your story resonated with me. I hope you continue to share your thoughts and experiences during your incredible journey!
I just found you and I am binge watching. I feel the same way about borrowing money. Also, when I started out on my own as a young woman, I was terrified of being broke. I worked so hard just to be able to maintain myself. The universe listens and responds.
Hi Loves,
As promised I'm doing more regular daily vlogs outside of Fashion Week and Traveling. I hope you all enjoy getting to know me a little better. Thanks so much for watching and don't forget to LIKE + SUBSCRIBE!

Monroe
I feel you on this video. I swear I was saying verbatim earlier today “the universe knows”.
I just started a new journey with new lenses. And you my friend have inspired me! Thank you for your fashion tips, laughs, style and encouraging words. I’m proud to be a subscriber of yours. Keep up the great content. Continue to be authentically YOU. ♥️👍🏾🙏🏾🤗
Thank you so much for sharing this. I too just celebrated 6th months since leaving my F/T job to relaunch my fashion brand. It's been rough, but things are starting to come together slowly but surely. Congratulations on your success thus far. I'll finally get to read my copy of Steel Magazine in the morning as part of my self care. Can't wait! 💜
Congratulations on your 6th month anniversary! I don’t know you personally, but I’m proud of you. God always comes through. 🙌🏾 Stay Blessed and stay focused. P.s. Your skin was glowing. 😍
Look how far you've come......you should look at this video today keep that perspective. How great is our God!!! I opened my own clinic in the Caribbean, apprehensive but three yrs later I'm here a solid client base new pts each month DPT and working at the uni.!!
Your inspirational.... I am in corporate america & miserable . I've had so many thoughts to quit my job. I am not fearful but I think how will I pay my mortgage, how will I survive and live my life. I understand everything you are saying. Your so humble and blessed and I hope I can take a leap of faith one day and just leave my job to pursue my passion interior design. I've never had a facial either and I announced that to some coworkers and they looked at me like I had 3 heads. I use black soap, a brush and Ponds and my skin shines.
SOOOOOOOO PROUD OF YOU!!!!!!! My SHERO

Awesome start
Just discovered your channel and I am so impressed to see your progression! I'm from Roxboro and love to see a fellow NC'er doing her thing in the world, pursuing her dreams. You are in inspiration! I'm facing a similar struggle at the moment, trying to find out where I fit in the world and this video helped me to see that the things I'm currently doing to improve my standing in the world and in my career are the right thing for me at the moment. Excited to see how your future continues to unfold!
You are such an inspiration. I'm a new subsciber and plan on going through all your videos. Your videos are giving me so much motivation. Thanks for sharing.
YOU ARE BLESSING ME IN 2020. WOW😊
Wow Monroe thank you for sharing - phew girl you are an inspiration. I’m not ready yet but I would def want to be a full time blogger. I love being a therapist but my passion is documenting. I’m so glad I listened to some of your videos today - truly inspiring!
Thank you for sharing and being real I know this video is old but I needed it and it shows your growth! I Love watching your videos! 😁❤️
You inspire me sooooo much sis 😌💖 ty for sharing pieces of your life’s journey. You are incredible!
Awesome Monroe!!! Won’t He do it...Congratulations 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾. Success is living your purpose...elated for you.
Thanks for speaking and sharing your truth. It takes courage to follow one's passion and to listen to your heart. Can't say I am there yet or if I even know what my passion and talents are. But I have been doing a lot of pondering and this vblog is added inspiration for me to dig deep. I am happy you leapt and the universe and God caught you. Keep on living your passion driven life!
Watching this in 2021, your journey is so inspiring ♥
Congrats to you - continue pressing forward. I believe God is pleased.
Yes GOD will always provide! You are doing great! Sending you lots of love and light😘
Congratulations
omg I just adore you hope ill bump into you in the city one day you are amazing
It’s crazy that I’ve never seen this video and I’m an avid subscriber. I think today was the day for me to truly receive this message. Thank you!
how to we both have la tour Eiffel and a bon appetit decal in our homes!!? so glad i found your channel lol I cant even deal. Super relatable you are!!
Girl, u gonna make me cry ...I'm trying to do my eye makeup 😩
May God continue to bless you. I stumbled across your youtube channel during NY Fashion week and after found this one, your confidence level is through the roof now and you've come far. I thought that you had been doing this for much longer based on your videos now. Much success to you!
So I just discovered you channel and I love it. I love your honesty in this video and admire how brave you are. I truly believe that $ and help comes when you need it the most. When I was broke yearssss ago I had not had anything to eat in almost 3 days, went to a Chinese restaurant and ordered a soup because I was so sick, the owner I guess saw my desperation and gave me so much food and didn’t charge me. I will never forget that. Love you style!!!! Will be catching up on your videos!!!!
You're inspiring me! I'm toying with the idea of being a full-time blogger as well.
Here I am again, binge watching your old videos 🙂 I just love your energy! But you had me crying with you🥲🥲
Loved 💖 this share and I would like to check this spa out thanks for sharing
I have just watched this video and I have cried probably too much and got so inspired and reminded that God always provides.
This was sooo good. Thanks so much for sharing and being vulnerable. I agree...God/the Universe always has each of us. Congratulations too. Continued blessings.
And look at where you are now!!! Stay humble and all that you are purposed to accomplish will happen!!
Keep following your dreams it will pay off.
so inspirational! My ultimate goal is editor-in-chief and I achieved it once for my first publication which was a summer camp guide for parents to find camps for their kids. I had ad pages that were filled. Until you try you don't know - I was scared no one would advertise and pay me to put their ad in the magazine because it was a first run of the publication but it was a success. I lost my FT role as a content specialist due to COVID and almost the day after my last day someone came to me for editing support of their manuscript paid hourly and so I agree that when God has something for you nothing can stop it. It felt like a start in the right direction. Right now because I am a mom, I sit with do I continue to try and find a new job (although I know the 9-5 is not for me and not my passion) or refresh blogs I have started years ago and continue to pursue my passion as a writer and an entrepreneur? I'd like to purchase one of your materials - if I cannot but all of them today, which is the first 3 you recommend to start with?
I love this one! You are doing a Wonderful Job. Sherry/Chicago 👍🌞✈️
I enjoyed your honesty in this video. I took from it that God may not answer when we call but he’s always on time. 🙌🏽 that was Nipsey Hussle that was playing lol the song was victory lap from the victory lap album which is a really great body of work. I’m very inspired by seeing you do what you love. It’s a reminder that we all have purpose. Sometimes it’s in the stillness when we hear our calling. Wishing you continued success queen. 😘🖤
I would LOVE to see a video about how you made the magazine?! Always been a dream of mine. I know some bloggers don’t like to share but hope you do. Can’t wait to purchase a hard copy in Sept!
Your such a blessing for me and listening to you acknowledge God...👌🏽. I am glad I came across you. I can totally relate. I am petrified and fearful in doing my blog, but listening to you gives me an, 'I can' mentality.
Thank you for sharing. I quit my job to focus on my doctoral degree and I’m in a period of transition. I’m happy with my decision but I look forward to figuring out the next step. Good luck to you. There is no sky. There is no limit! P.S. After what you just said, I will be buying a print copy of Steele Mag.
P.S.S. I have hyperpigmentation as well, any pimple leaves a scar on me. Start using pure aloe gel from the leaf on your skin at night and in the morning under your moisturizer, you’ll see a difference in a week!
Girl you making me cry 😢😭
You said it would it ! The universe will always provide. Keep that high vibration. I love your transparency on this video. Keep up the good work.
Thank you, I will
