Talia Monroe

Talia Monroe wasn’t raised to take up space. Grew up in a small Midwest town where being “nice” was currency and compliance was survival. She spent years shrinking herself—her ideas, her voice, even her walk. It wasn’t abuse. It wasn’t trauma. It was just constant invisibility. Until one day in college, during a group project, a professor credited her work to someone else—for the third time that semester. And she felt it snap. The silence. The shrinking. That moment flipped a switch. Now? Talia’s a speech coach and presentation strategist for women in leadership. She trains execs how to command a room, runs workshops titled “Say It Louder,” and turns nervous interns into confident communicators. She doesn’t just coach tone and pitch—she rebuilds belief. Talia didn’t become a Baddie through tragedy. She became one the moment she realized power wasn’t always stolen—sometimes, you just have to stop giving it away.

National Breast Cancer Foundation

Talia donates to the National Breast Cancer Foundation because her power came from finding her voice—but her reason came from watching her aunt lose hers. The woman who first taught Talia how to speak up, how to take space in a room, how to stand tall in pink heels—was diagnosed at 52 and gone within a year. Talia watched her fade under a system that caught the cancer too late and supported her too little. Now she gives to fight that silence. To fund early detection, real access, and support systems that don’t leave women behind. For Talia, it’s not just personal—it’s legacy. Every donation is a thank-you to the woman who made her loud, and a promise that fewer women will have to whisper their pain.
