Monica Rodgers

Bringing an infectious warmth and playful levity
wherever she goes, Monica Rodgers is a tireless
advocate for the full actualization of women,
inspiring women everywhere that saying “YES to
the MESS” is the missing link to self-love and
personal awakening.

From Monica: Patriarchy impacts all people, regardless of gender, all over the world.

This unjust construct is defined by the dictionary as a "system of society or government in which men hold the power and women are largely excluded from it” has caused inestimable harm throughout the centuries, and yet we learn almost nothing about it in school. Deconstructing patriarchy in our minds, relationships, and communities benefits everyone because in doing so, we stop perpetuating the unconscious generational cycle that keeps the system in place.

Manbox: A term that researchers use to describe the dominant form of masculinity in the United States at this time is known as Hegemonic Masculinity, which Mark Greeneand others have described as the “Man Box.” The term implies a rigid set of expectations, perceptions, and behaviors of what is “manly” behavior.
