Monika Johnson Hoster was born February 12, 1975 in Thomasville, North Carolina. Having not always been politically active she stepped into her activist role while going to school for her undergraduate degree, where she was actively involved in the NAACP. From there she accredits all the encourage she received to be politically active to her daughter. Inspired by Rosa Parks, Monika Hoster feels that both the Civil Rights and Women’s movements are two of the most important political issues in our country. This reflects her work as she is currently advocating for Women’s rights throughout North Carolina. --Compiled by Delaney Rhodes
