About Monica Bencomo:
Monica Bencomo founded lifestyle brand Moms Wear Heels in 2012 shortly after having her first child in hopes of inspiring women around the world to live their dreams and continue pursuing passions after having children. After publishing her first book, 7 Habits of a Healthy, Happy Mom, she became parenting and fitness expert on 2 Kasa Fox and the Morning Brew for a couple of years. After graduating from UNM with her BA in Liberal Arts, she decided to focus on entrepreneurial pursuits with her company Moms Wear Heels and has organically grown her online following to over 90,000 between Instagram, blog, and YouTube by sharing lifestyle tips and daily inspiration. Throughout this journey, she’s had the pleasure of partnering with media outlets such as People, Cosmopolitan, Shape, Oxygen, Fit Pregnancy, the Daily Mail, NY Post, and BET.
On being an influencer:
I personally don’t like the idea of being labeled a “social media influencer”… I think we are all influencers. Influencers on our children, community, and the clerk who checks out our groceries… We all have power to (and do) influence those we come into contact with on a daily basis either positively or negatively. The numbers (of followers) don’t matter as much as the impact does on those who choose to follow you and be a part of our journey. Never underestimate your ability to influence others and change the world on your own platforms. We all have gifts!
