Chantle Edillor and I met Monica and her husband, Toby Benson, at Day of Not in February 2020 where we were enchanted by the openness of her heart. Later, we watched as she was furloughed due to COVID-19 and, within weeks, had spun up The Dojo—doing in two weeks what took us over a year. Monica is an endlessly unexpected delight and we are ever more grateful to play with her as Citizens.
