The Story of Our CEO: Tracy Monique

​

Tracy Monique, the visionary CEO and Founder of Her Second Chance Network, is a woman of resilience, determination, and unwavering compassion. Her journey to leadership is deeply rooted in personal experience and a lifelong passion for uplifting others.

​

Tracy’s story begins in the heart of underserved communities, where she witnessed firsthand the struggles of individuals seeking opportunities for a better life. From an early age, she felt a calling to be a voice for those who were often unheard. This calling led her to pursue a career spanning over 25 years as a mental health and substance abuse counselor, where she worked with diverse populations, including those facing incarceration, addiction, and homelessness.

Her expertise in counseling and her innate ability to connect with people became the foundation of her work. But Tracy wanted to do more than treat symptoms—she wanted to create long-term solutions. Driven by this mission, she transitioned from counseling to nonprofit leadership, dedicating herself to addressing systemic issues and empowering individuals to rebuild their lives.

​

The spark for Her Second Chance Network came when Tracy recognized a critical gap: women re-entering society, tenants in substandard housing, and senior citizens lacked access to the resources they needed to thrive.

​

Beyond her professional achievements, Tracy is a passionate advocate for justice, an avid reader of personal development books, and a mentor to aspiring nonprofit leaders.
