This week I’m excited to be talking with Monique Valeris, the Senior Home Editor at Good Housekeeping magazine. I have admired Monique’s work for years, so I was thrilled when she said “yes” to come on the show. During our interview Monique and I talk about how to be successful in the interior design industry as a Black woman and getting comfortable as the only one in the room.
In addition we dug into what’s trending right now for Good Housekeeping magazine this summer, and we discussed how Good Housekeeping can help all of you first time home buyers out there with how to get it all done on a budget with their expertise and advice. Be sure to check out the latest issue of Good Housekeeping which is out right now!
Monique Valeris is a highly experienced writer and editor who has covered lifestyle topics ranging from beauty to home decorating. Her unique background in both the corporate communications and editorial worlds, including roles at Hearst and Time Inc., translates into an in-depth understanding of how to craft content, especially for digital.
