Antoi Monique smiling while seated in a blue chair

Meet the woman behind the words

Antoi Monique

Author. Salon owner. Mother. Grandma.

For Antoi Monique, the salon chair has always held more than a conversation about hair. It’s a place where women share pieces of their lives—and where stories of faith, resilience, and becoming find a voice.

Her writing carries that same heart. From the emotional world of Beneath the Surface to the wonder of The Adventures of MJ and Grandma, she makes room for both the woman finding her way and the child discovering the world.

Faith and family are at the center of it all.

Still becoming, Antoi

Chapter 1: The Chair

Selah Monroe had always believed in the power of transformation.

It was why she’d chosen this work—standing behind a chair, hands in someone else’s hair, listening as the layers of their lives unraveled like strands beneath her fingertips.

But today, Selah felt the weight of her own unraveling.
