Through sharing her personal journey towards healthy hair restoration Monique amassed an amazing following of supporters, who have become the lifeblood of the brand, and managed to turn her idea into a multi-million dollar brand in 7 years. This multi-million dollar brand, now

known as MIELLE Organics, has grown from one to over 25 products spread across multiple product lines, addressing specific customer needs. In 2021, Monique and her husband, COO Melvin Rodriguez, broke a major glass ceiling securing a 9 figure investment deal from Berkshire partners.


MIELLE has been distributed in more than 87 countries and can be found in more than 100,000 stores across the U.S. in retailers such as Sally Beauty, Target, CVS, Walgreens, and Walmart, just to name a few. Now a global sensation, MIELLE has won numerous awards and been featured in top publications and media outlets.
