Monique will produce A Voice That Bears a Likeness to My Soul, a photographic and poetic journey that will document the story of ten homeless LGBTQ youths in Philadelphia. By documenting an often-neglected population she hopes to shed light on homelessness and force people to become advocates of those in need. Voice will become an art book, where the words and photographs will blend creatively, in an effort to express the freedom of spirit of each of Monique’s subjects.
