The Servant of God
A daughter of an ordained Elder in the AME Zion Church and the granddaughter of an AME Pastor, Monique has been serving in ministry since age 4, when she first began singing in the Angelic Voices choir at Cascade United Methodist Church, where she continued to serve in choral ministry throughout her childhood. With nearly 30 years of continuous ministry service, Monique has held significant leadership positions including Youth Ministry Chair and Youth Ministry Co-Chair at Ben Hill United Methodist Church, and served on praise teams and sung in choirs across multiple congregations in the metro Atlanta area.
Monique answered her calling to formal ministry in 2016 after years of faithful volunteer service. Her prophetic gifting allows her to provide divine insight and spiritual direction to the believers, creatives, and entrepreneurs she serves. She has received specialized training at the Apostle Jon-Michael McKinney and The Impact Center Church's School of Deliverance and School of the Prophetic.
In 2017 she founded "The Purpose-Driven God Chasers" Facebook community, creating a ministry space for Christian creatives and entrepreneurs. Through her ministry, she has led virtual prayer calls and virtual fellowships and gatherings, particularly for Christian creators and entrepreneurs. She ministers through her blog, her inspirational messages, "The Purpose-Driven Dreamchasers Podcast", her YouTube channel, and her published works, which includes "Single and Set Apart for a Season" and "Let Us Pray: A 12-Month Prayer Journal". Her inspirational articles have been featured in publications such as Bold Favor Magazine and TeamJesusMag.com, where she also served as a staff writer.
The Storyteller
Monique C. Baisden’s storytelling journey began with music. Since childhood she has carried many creative gifts, but singing, songwriting, and creating music were her earliest passions.
In 2008, Monique stepped into professional songwriting, and by 2015 she formed The ProWriters, a songwriting and music production team. Her gift for words and melodies opened doors for her to sing and perform professionally with the Atlanta-based SEEiT Choir, appearing in major television, film, and live events including Harry Belafonte’s Many Rivers to Cross Concert, Jermaine Dupri’s The Rap Game, Tyler Perry’s "Madea’s Family Funeral" and "A Fall From Grace", FOX Television’s "STAR", and the CBS' Pre-Show for Super Bowl LIII.
In 2020, Monique founded 4 The Kingdom Entertainment (later renamed 4 The Kingdom Enterprises), where she served as Executive Producer, Songwriter, and Music Video Director. The company's defining project was the global human rights anthem “Enough Is Enough”, a song that Monique wrote, co-produced, and then transformed into an advocacy music video that received placements and recognition at the 2021 Voices Rising Film Festival, the 2021 Richmond International Film Festival, and the 2023 Indie Night Film Festival in Atlanta. The advocacy music video was also an Official Partner of Former First Lady Michelle Obama's 2020 "When We All Vote" campaign.
Building on that momentum, Monique adapted "Enough Is Enough" into a cinematic short story, which became a semifinalist in Screencraft’s 2024 Cinematic Short Story Competition. This was the beginning of her transition into screenwriting, filmmaking, and executive producing, expanding her storytelling far beyond music.
Today, through Monique C. Baisden Productions, she continues to create boundary-pushing short films, documentaries, TV shows, and podcasts. Her storytelling now also includes AI-generated video productions and Legacy Storytelling Services, which blends her creative vision with her advocacy for family caregivers and the elderly.
Every stage of Monique’s journey, from music and songwriting, to film and television, to cutting-edge digital storytelling, has been God’s way of preparing her for this moment: to use her voice, creativity, and faith to tell stories that inspire, heal, and transform lives.
