W Publishing Group, an imprint of Thomas Nelson, today announced the upcoming release of Monique Rodriguez’s highly anticipated book, “The Glory in Your Story: Activating a Fearless Faith to Change Your Life, Your Career, and the World,” set to launch April 15, 2025.
Rodriguez, renowned founder and CEO of Mielle Organics, one of the fastest-growing textured haircare brands, recently celebrated the brand’s 10-year anniversary. Previously a registered nurse, Monique had gone into the field for financial stability, but quickly realized she was yearning for more fulfillment. After experiencing a personal tragedy, and having always had a passion for beauty, Monique began to pursue her journey with haircare as a way to transform her pain into purpose – and from that place of grief, Mielle Organics was born. Today, Mielle is found in more than 100,000 stores around the globe.
In “The Glory in Your Story,” Rodriguez will inspire readers across the globe by exploring how taking smart risks and following your faith can lead to both personal and professional success.
“When you step out on faith, there’s always the doubt that says you cannot do it – but I knew my vision came from God, and I had to trust the process and know that on the other side was the progress,” says Rodriguez. “I learned to shift my mindset and feed my faith and not my fears. I wrote ‘The Glory in Your Story’ with the hope of helping others recognize and unlock their own unique possibilities, and to motivate them to tap into their faith and inner strength to reveal the incredible glory that shines in their own story.”
“We’re thrilled to join forces with Monique to share her inspiring story in this book,” said W Publishing Group Vice President and Publisher Damon Reiss. “Readers everywhere will resonate with Monique’s personal journey of remaining true to her vision and community despite personal and career challenges. Monique’s story is a shining example of how an unwavering faith and believing in yourself can lead to extraordinary outcomes and send ripples of positivity throughout the world.”
