Giving Voice to our Generation

Michele Choi and Monica Desai Weiss have always navigated the intersection of cultural expectations, societal pressures, and evolving dreams. Monica and Michele first crossed paths at Harvard Business School, where they forged a chosen family of resilient, ambitious women who inspired and supported each other through life’s complexities. Between them, they hold degrees from Cornell and Duke and bring a wealth of professional experience from Kleiner Perkins, JPMorgan, and McKinsey.

Their stories capture the duo’s personal experiences and countless heartfelt conversations within their broader circle of friends. They identified a striking gap in mainstream narratives about ambitious women—stories that reflect the unvarnished realities of self-discovery, sacrifices, trade-offs, and unexpected silver linings that define modern adulthood.

Monica and Michele bring a deeply authentic and relatable lens to their storytelling, drawing on real stories and lived experiences to craft a narrative that resonates. Through their stories, they aim to spark meaningful conversations about identity, friendship, and ambition, offering readers the opportunity to see themselves and their own journeys reflected in the pages. Their work invites women to connect authentically and to celebrate the beauty of their own evolving stories.
