OUR FOUNDER

MONIQUE LORENZO

Monique Lorenzo (She | Her | Ella) is the Founder and Artist of Divinity Adivina®—a faith-driven movement rooted in healing, purpose, and transformation. Her work is not theoretical—it is lived, guided by faith, and expressed through real, tangible, transformative action. Guided by a deeply personal relationship with God, she leads with spiritual conviction, creative expression, and a steadfast commitment to people—especially those navigating healing, identity, and purpose in real time.

Monique embodies love and compassion, dedicating her life to helping individuals of all ages, across all cultures and identities, experience 360° transformation (mind, body, and Spirit)—in life, relationships, marriage, family, work, school, and community—and to embrace their divine purpose. Throughout her journey, she has centered empathy, respect, and kindness—offering unwavering support and grace even in the most challenging moments and difficult situations, always seeking the lesson and the blessing in every circumstance.

What she has built through Divinity Adivina® is not separate from who she is; it is a direct extension of her obedience, her calling, and her lived experience.

Rooted in the Bible, a sacred text that guides spiritual and moral life across generations, these Scriptures ground our work in faith and action. “If you have faith as small as a mustard seed… nothing will be impossible for you.” — Matthew 17:20 serves as the brand Scripture, while James 2:24 serves as the anchor—guiding and supporting every thought, idea, and action from Thought to Paper to Action™.

The foundation, pillars, and core ethos of Divinity Adivina® are not exclusive—they are universally accessible and rooted in invitation. From everyday individuals to global leaders, they offer a guiding framework for belief, alignment, and meaningful action.

HER CORE

Monique is a movement builder, creative visionary, cultural architect, and community-centered leader whose work sits at the intersection of faith, culture, and impact.

With a foundation in nonprofit and corporate leadership, human services, and workforce development, she brings both professional credibility and on-the-ground experience to everything she builds. Her leadership is marked by clarity, accountability, and a deep commitment to creating spaces where transformation is not just spoken—but lived.

She does not separate faith from action.

Through prophetic art, music, storytelling, photography, and earth stewardship, alongside initiatives like our first in-person Divinity Adivina® | Community Seed Share + Garden Chat™ (CSSGC) and Divinity Adivina® | Our Resource Garden - a free digital platform for all ages.

Monique proudly stands in the gap, creating pathways for individuals to reconnect with their spiritual identity, deepen their faith, and step into purpose with intention, igniting their vision, manifesting what is within them, and bringing their dreams to fruition—transforming intention into aligned, meaningful action.

BEYOND THE WORK

Monique’s life reflects the same values she builds into her work—faith, presence, and intentional living.

She finds grounding in cultivating Divinity Adivina® | #JardinDivinity | Founder’s Garden, where growth, patience, and stewardship take tangible form. Creativity flows through every medium she touches—art, music, photography, writing, dance, movement, and even cooking—especially through #DivinitysGardenCandy, made from the abundance of #JardinDivinity—each expression rooted in her connection to God.

She values stillness, reflection, and the discipline of growth, while holding close the relationships that sustain her—her husband, her son, her fur babies, her loved one's, her friends, and her community—alongside the everyday moments that remind her why this work matters. Her life is also marked by a deep commitment to giving back—honoring the communities that shaped her while continuing to serve, uplift, and invest in the communities she walks with today.

LEADERSHIP

Her leadership holds space—intentionally, faithfully, and without judgment or compromise. It is rooted in responsibility, stewardship, and a deep commitment to cultivating environments where others can thrive and become their fullest selves—authentic, whole, and perfectly imperfect. These are spaces grounded in respect, forward-thinking, 360° healing, and genuine community—where growth is protected, truth is honored, and unity is lived.

Holding a Master of Science in Urban Policy Analysis and Management from The New School and the Milano School of Policy, Management, and Environment, and a Bachelor of Science in Political Science and Legal Studies from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, she pairs academic rigor with lived insight—bringing strategy, structure, and vision to the movement she is building, while grounding her work in purpose, equity, and transformative impact.

SOCIAL IMPACT

Monique’s work has consistently centered those historically underserved, marginalized, at-risk, vulnerable, and disenfranchised populations—those too often overlooked, underrepresented, unheard, silenced, excluded, and systemically pushed to the margins.

Her impact spans community, systems, culture, and generations. She has led and contributed across a broad spectrum of initiatives—from summer camps and afterschool enrichment for grades K–12 (ages 5–18), to GED and ESOL programs, college exploration and access, workforce development initiatives for youth (ages 14–26) and adults, and justice + equity-centered programs—while also addressing food insecurity and expanding access to essential resources. Her work lives within service-based community spaces rooted in the arts, music, dance, photography, fitness and health, wellness, and earth stewardship, all designed to expand opportunity, nurture talent, and strengthen communities.

From local to global, her work reflects a commitment to building sustainable pathways, strengthening human systems, and expanding opportunity across communities. She is also Co-Founder of the Adoption Circle for Women+ of Color (ACFWC), creating a safe forum for primarily women+ of color adoptees to gather, share, and heal. As an adoptee herself—#UnapologeticallyAdopted—her lived experience deepens her advocacy, informing spaces of belonging, identity, and restoration.

She extends her service beyond programs into everyday acts of faith and community care—serving as a Gospel lector in her church and volunteers with her local historical society as a land steward, and actively paying it forward in the communities she is part of. These commitments reflect her belief that impact is not only built through formal initiatives, but through consistent presence, care, and responsibility. As she nurtures Divinity Adivina® seeds of faith, she continues to cultivate spaces—both seen and unseen—where growth, stewardship, and community can take root and flourish.

This is more than a story—it is a living invitation to become, to return, and to rise. An invitation to step into a space where faith is active, purpose is awakened, and transformation is not an idea, but a lived practice. Here, you are called to slow down, to listen, to grow, and to align with what God has already placed within you. This is a space where you are seen, held, and challenged—where you are encouraged to show up fully, authentically, and without compromise.

If you feel called, there is space for you here—to create, to heal, to give, and to receive. To engage in work that honors your becoming while contributing to something greater than yourself. Through Divinity Adivina®, we cultivate environments rooted in faith, stewardship, and community—making room for growth, restoration, renewal of the mind, and for purpose to take form within you and within community, however you define it. This is where transformation is nurtured, legacy is built, and lives are changed—across generations.

The invitation is open—step in when you’re ready, return when you’re called, and grow at your own pace.
