moved from Brooklyn to Miami to live with her partner, Umi Selah (formerly known as Phillip Agnew), and build a social justice arts community. In 2020, Monet supported Bernie Sanders’s 2020 campaign for president. In 2015, Monet spoke at a vigil organized around the campaign #SayHerName, a movement put together by New York’s African American Policy Forum to raise awareness about the female victims of police brutality. Work in Miami Smoke Signals Studio Monet and Selah live in Little Haiti, Miami. Money has said she connected to Florida’s "indigenous African roots" and "climate gentrification" issues. In 2016, they founded Smoke Signals Studio in Miami—an arts collective dedicated to music, art, and community organizing. The studio runs on a barter system. Monet explains, "For every hour that someone spends in the this studio to record to make music, we hope for them to give an equal amount of time doing radical, political education or giving a training or workshop to other folks with the same skill set that they can provide. Let’s say you’re a really good guitar player, and you’re here for an hour to use the studio. You could give an hour of guitar lessons to the community or to our young people.” VOICES: Poetry for the People Monet coordinates the poetry workshop VOICES: Poetry for the People and organized its first annual Maroon Poetry Festival in the Liberty City section of Miami. In 2019, she curated Where the Land Is Free, an exhibition presented by VOICES: Poetry for the People, on view at Wynwood’s Bakehouse Art Complex. The project featured Meet Your Neighbors, a piece by Calvin Early, made up of photographs of longtime Black and brown Wynwood residents. Where the Land Is Free was created in collaboration with Community Justice Project, "a group of movement lawyers that provides legal support to organizers and grassroots groups to strengthen their ability to fundamentally change the conditions of their oppression". In 2016, according to Monet, residents of Little Farm Mobile Home neighborhood were getting kicked out of their homes by developers. She stated, "Community Justice Project worked hard to represent marginalized folks. They were working with Spanish and Creole-speaking people who didn’t know how to fight back.” CJP enlisted Monet to facilitate poetry workshops with neighborhood residents to access empowerment in the fight against predatory developers and gentrification. Together, they wrote and performed poetry and studied the Black Arts Movement,
