Founder Bio

CCT Studios – A Division of Chocolate Covered Thoughts Entertainment

Monique D. Turman is a Baltimore, Maryland native, author, and serial entrepreneur known for using storytelling as a tool to inspire, uplift, and empower others. She is the author of I Know I Can, a story coloring book available on Amazon that encourages readers of all ages to believe in their potential and embrace creativity. With a passion for writing and creative expression, Monique has built multiple businesses that reflect her dedication to purpose-driven work. Her newest venture, CCT Entertainment & Productions, is a natural extension of her original brand, Chocolate Covered Thoughts, where her love for storytelling first began to take shape. As a writer, creator, director, and producer, Monique is currently preparing to release an adult animated series, which will initially premiere on YouTube. The project marks the beginning of an expanding slate of creative works under CCT Entertainment & Productions. In addition, she is developing several other animation concepts, including a children’s animated series scheduled for release later this year. Beyond writing and production, Monique is also a dynamic personality who frequently hosts and co-hosts live entertainment events, bringing energy, humor, and inspiration wherever she appears. Whether on stage, behind the scenes, or in front of the camera, she uses every opportunity to share meaningful messages that resonate with audiences. A true creative force, Monique may pop up anywhere—and when she does, you can expect a powerful message rooted in hope, success, kindness, and purpose.
