I'm Monice Mitchell Simms, an award-winning author, produced screenwriter, journalist, and storyteller who's spent more than 30 years bringing stories to life across books, film, television, and digital media.

I've always believed stories help us see ourselves, understand one another, and find connection in unexpected places.

Here, you'll discover my original essays, books, and other creative works inspired by real life, personal connections, and the beautiful, complicated things that make us who we are.

Some will make you laugh. Others might make you cry. And hopefully, they'll all make you feel something.

Thanks for stopping by. Glad you're here.
