“When I was growing up, I didn’t have access to my role models and felt like I could never reach the people who I admired and could further my potential. I played a lot of different sports and started to learn basketball just by going out and playing with my Dad,” said Monique Billings. “Today, I’m at the top of my career and find myself wanting to share my experience and skills with others in ways that I didn’t have access to. I see Obsesh changing the way young aspiring athletes can get personal access to any talented athlete. There really isn’t an easier way to inspire, teach and support the next generation, and I’m committed to making sure no athlete or fan misses out on that.”

Monique has always used basketball to bring people and communities together and bring a voice for change. Already she’s partnered with Obsesh and the non-profit The Hoop Bus to spread positivity, further lending to her long history of driving change at the wheel.

"Monique is an inspiring leader on and off the court! It’s her authenticity, focus and purpose in life that drew us to her,” said Jonalyn Morris, Cofounder and Chief Development Officer. “We are incredibly lucky to have Monique in our corner, and not just for the sake of business, but for the future of sports. We know that together, we can create a better future for access to athletes, and for a life well lived by all.”

Monique is making herself accessible as an athlete by offering those same skills and leadership abilities on the Obsesh platform. Consumers can request personal video messages from Monique directly that can range in subject matter from learning how to elevate skills in the game, to tackling confidence issues, to living healthier. Monique can also personally break down a consumer’s skills or techniques, just like she does as a professional analyst for the NBA.
