The Pioneer
The frontier and an appetite for the unknown, goes first.
Victoria Monet is The Pioneer because she forges paths long before validation arrives. Fifteen years spent writing for others, a public manifestation of opening for Bruno Mars five years before it materialised, and a deliberate turn toward culinary school and spiritual disciplines at her peak all point the same way.
“I put in the work to transform, and I trusted that moment in the dark where it felt like I don't know what I'm becoming, but I'm just gonna snuggle in here and be.”
“In 2020 I recorded a live performance saying I'd love to open for Silk Sonic. Lo and behold, five years later is when I got the call.”
“My value is not predicated on just one set of goals. I'm still a great friend, a great mom, a great chef — all of these things add up to be a well rounded human.”
