My name is Monique “Arabena” Siaw. I am a highly motivated event curator, producer, and manager with over 8 years of experience in developing programming focused on social impact, brand ambassador initiatives, music, and entrepreneurship, among others. I have worked with notable festivals such as AFROPUNK and Dreamville LLC and have produced various events during my time at Soho House & Co, Habitat for Humanity, Westchester, and more.

My event journey began during my time on campus at Wesleyan University. As a Music and African American Studies double major, I studied how art healed historical traumas of the past. I produced and curated events for my funk band, and eventually concerts, panel conversations, Spring Fling and etc. I’ve been hooked on events ever since. The rest is history.
