Hi, I'm Monica
Educator, Director, Mother...
Myeloma Survivor
I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma (MM) in 2011 after a routine medical examination, and my life was never the same....
A stem cell transplant in Tampa, Florida in 2012 ushered years of roller-coaster rides as I navigated living with the disease. I retired from the UWI in 2018 but had continued my work with Jamaica Multiple Myeloma Support Group that I had founded with my husband/care partner, Godfrey Taylor, in 2013.
I have a PhD in Linguistics and have spent all of my working life as an educator.
Latest release from
Monica E Taylor
My June Plum Journey uses the metaphor of the June Plum (Golden Apple) to weave the narrative of Monica's journey with multiple myeloma, a cancer of the plasma cells.
​
​Like the June plum, some of the story is harsh and prickly; but some of it is also sweet and inspiring all sustained by Monica's faith.

Sometimes tangy, Sometimes sweet...
That has been my journey
