Monique Rodriguez

Monique Rodriguez is the Founder & CEO of Mielle Organics, one of the fastest-growing textured haircare brands. Previously a registered nurse, Monique’s career path shifted after experiencing a devastating personal loss – she needed a creative outlet to help process her grief and turned to her original passion, haircare. From that place of grief, Mielle Organics was born, and Monique has since broken glass ceilings and barriers for female and Black founders, notably securing the largest exit ever for a Black Female beauty founder. She is a wife, mother of two girls, and a devout Christian. She has dedicated her life to uplifting God’s Kingdom and moving in His purpose. Her journey serves as an inspiration to countless individuals, demonstrating the power of passion, perseverance, and community.
