INSTIGATOR · MIAMI
MONICA BLOOM
- Why I became a Parlay House instigator:
- I became a member of Parlay House when I had moved from New York to San Francisco. It was an important part of my transition to my new city. I immediately connected to what Anne had built and the warm and inviting environment that she had created. When my husband and I decided to move to Miami, I wanted to bring this community with me and asked Anne if she would be open to it. Starting the Miami Chapter was the perfect way for me to open doors and meet amazing women in Miami. I wanted to carry forward what Anne provided me, to others. I am grateful to be able to host these events with my friend and partner in Parlay, Stacie Gray.
- What I love outside of work:
- I am a culture vulture. I love film, TV, theater, art and music.
- My favorite book or movie right now:
- Wild Dark Shore by Charlotte McConaghy. It is a layered story about grief, nature and survival against all odds.
- Why women's community matters to me:
- Women need to know they are not alone, both in good times and bad. The more opportunities we have for real connection and authentic sharing, the more confident we become in who we truly are. There is strength in sharing. Women's lives can be extremely complicated and busy. Parlay House provides a little luxury - a moment for us, a moment to just belong.
