MIELLE has been distributed in more than 87 countries and can be found in more than 100,000 stores across the U.S. in retailers such as Sally Beauty, Target, CVS, Walgreens, Kroger, JC Penny, and Walmart.
In 2021, Monique became the first Black woman to raise a non-controlling nine-figure investment in a deal with Berkshire Partners.
The company has been endorsed by celebrities including: Rasheeda Frost (Love & Hip Hop), Demetria McKinney (Real Housewives of Atlanta and Tyler Perry’s House of Pain), Drew Sidora (BET’s The Game) and a host of naturalistas around the world.

About My Dad's Class
As a parent, it's easy to feel insecure. What vital knowledge from your childhood should you pass on to your kids? How do you teach the importance of kindness and respect? When do you introduce the concept of money? How are you intentional with the lessons you impart?
For Paige Cornetet and her three siblings, a childhood designed by their dad was a series of educational experiences woven into family activities. From investing in McDonald's as a stock market activity to using chore assignments as an opportunity for negotiation, the Cornetet kids gained insight into important subjects at an early age.
Now, in My Dad's Class, Paige shares the strategies and principles her dad used to lay the groundwork for a happy, successful life. Told from the child's perspective, this is a parenting book unlike any other. Paige shows you how to get creative with tactics you're already using and customize a plan that works for your family.
Parenting isn't always easy, but that doesn't mean it has to be hard. With daily, weekly, and monthly ideas you can use immediately, My Dad's Class is the simple framework you've been looking for to parent with intention and provide you with peace of mind.
