TB: Prolific Celebrity Author (the Late) Monique Raphel High



For #WomensHistoryMonth Fey features 2 of her previous podcast guests—who have died. Listen to this epic #TBM episode of “The PPI Women of Power Hours”(iTunes): Her interview with the late, prolific #Celebrity #Author, her dear friend, Monique Raphel High: goo.gl/zSgUGs

French, Jewish, & a child refugee who fled the Nazis with her parents, Monique—a film exec's daughter https://en.m.wikipedia.org—picked up the pen & became a force in print; screen. She spoke of her sweeping historic novels, life & passions. But, little did they know their lives would mirror each other in loss: Monique’s husband would be felled by cancer; & Fey, seeing Monique’s saga online, would live it herself in caring for her Mum—who would die within months of Monique’s husband, also from cancer.

Fey visited Monique, just after her dealing with her mother's passing, not realizing it would be the last time she would see Monique alive. Both the celeb-chef L.A. French chez Monique took her to--to sweetly honour a freshly-grieving Fey & her Mum's birthdays (which occur within the same month)--& the storied Parisian herself, became no longer. Here’s to those who lift our humanity--& hearts--through the mystic, the magic that is their souls & handicrafts. 👏🏽
