New Book From Monica Wisdom

Hello Reader,

This book did not come from a childhood dream or a master plan to write a bestseller. It came from frustration. I got tired of watching us drown in noise and starve for meaning. Tired of watching the world get louder and less human at the same time. At some point, you either keep repeating the problem or you decide to offer a solution. I chose the latter.

The truth is, we have always been the problem solvers. We have come up with strategies and brilliance at the kitchen table, after church, at brunch, during hair appointments, in late-night phone calls, and in our group chats. But there comes a time when our ideas need to live outside of conversation. There comes a time when they need to reach beyond our circle.

Books are one of the last places where ideas can live without being interrupted, muted, or reshaped by algorithms. A book is not just content. It is an archive. It is evidence. It is how future generations will know what we thought, what we feared, what we questioned, and what we imagined. And I am clear about this: we need far more Black and brown women in those archives, not just as subjects, but as thinkers, creators, and originators of thought.

Some of us are sitting on solutions that could change education, healing, parenting, business, community care, or the way we see ourselves. Yet we hesitate and ask, “Who am I to write a book?” The real question is, who are you not to? Maya Angelou could have said the same thing. James Baldwin could have said the same thing. Beyoncé could have stayed quiet instead of leading one of the most successful girl groups in history. We may not all sing or act, but we can write. We can document. We can put something in the world that outlives us.

That is why I wrote Have We Lost the Plot? It is not a memoir. It is a mirror. It is a call to step back and really see what is happening to us as we trade depth for speed, humanity for convenience, and connection for performance. I believe empathy, story, and truth still matter. I believe they are not only powerful but necessary.

I sat with this for months, studying the patterns, watching the divide between soul and machine grow wider. This book is my response. Not to add more noise, but to create clarity. When you understand what is happening, you can choose differently. When you understand the plot, you can rewrite it.

If this book wakes something up in you, good. That means it is working. If it reminds you that you have something worth saying, even better. I believe 2026 will be the year a thousand new voices finally enter the space of authorship, and I plan to help as many Black women as possible become part of that shift. I will be publishing more books, teaching the process, and offering the VIP experience for those who are serious about turning their ideas into impact.

Start here. Read the book. Let it open something in you.
