Dr. Monique Y. Wells, A native of Houston, Texas and a 32-year resident of Paris, France. Through her entrepreneurial work as a veterinary pathologist and toxicologist, travel professional, writer, speaker, and mentor, she embraces and harnesses the power of education to change lives. While working in Paris she began researching the history of African Americans there and offered self-guided tours of locations associated with African Americans in Paris. This led to her discovery, in the pauper's division of a cemetery outside Paris, of the unmarked grave of the distinguished artist Beauford Delaney, an American modernist painter well known for his work with the Harlem Renaissance in the 1930s and '40s. Delaney moved to Paris in 1953 and continued his production of brilliant figurative and abstract expressionist paintings, including several self-portraits and portraits of James Baldwin. He suffered from mental illness and spent the last four years of his life in a psychiatric institution in the French capital. Fascinated with his story, Monique founded Les Amis de Beauford Delaney, and raised funds for a tombstone to mark his grave. She continues her research and work promoting the legacy of Beauford Delaney. Monique worked for 13 years in the corporate world before combining her passion for life sciences, literacy, STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics) education, the arts, travel/study abroad, and women's empowerment under the umbrella of her U.S. non-profit organization, the Wells International Foundation (WIF). She is currently recruiting a select group of high achieving women leaders for membership in WIF's L³ Alliance.

  Dr. Sylvie Gosselin was Monique Y. Wells mentor when Monique was a young veterinary pathologist who had recently moved to Paris, France.  She reinforced my sense of the importance of being rigorously thorough, open minded, and ready to attempt anything that I thought was worth trying.  I learned from her example, particularly when corporate politics raised its ugly head in our department and her position was threatened.  She taught me the importance of mentoring. I moved to Paris, France in 1992.  This move has literally opened the world to me.  I have seen things, done things, and been inspired to learn things that I think I would have been highly unlikely to experience had I stayed in the U.S.  Moving to Paris has been the single best thing that I have done in my life.   Nicole Newsom works with and teaches people how to empower themselves and problem solve through a form of self-healing called Reiki.   Nicole customized classes and healing sessions to what is going on in each of my clients' lives.  I energetically locate what is keeping them from healing and/or moving on with their lives.   People who seek my services are those who have exhausted all other means of help; i.e., counselors, therapist, doctors, acupuncturists, drugs, etc.
