EASTPOINTE, MICHIGAN, February 11, 2021 ~ In 2019, Monique Owens was elected as the first Black Mayor of Eastpointe, and youngest mayor to hold office in Macomb County’s history.
Previously, she held jobs as a Sheriff’s Deputy, a comedian with her own talent agency, and as a realtor who also worked to house the homeless by creating a non-profit organization. Today, Mayor Owens is working to educate young people on her duties as a mayor with her new book “Mom, What’s A Mayor?,” named after a question asked by her own twin daughters.
