There is a box of treasure hidden under River Rouge. The hordes of people traveling for sports, food and entertainment in the city has skyrocketed over recent years. The fact that has taken the region by storm, is fashion. Ladies’ fashion in particular. River Rouge’s own social butterfly, T’Kay Montaque spearheaded this movement way before it was the fashionable thing to do.
Montaque’s lifestyle has naturally led her to the spotlight, and the position she holds today. While attending River Rouge High School, T’Kay played basketball, and used her voice to narrate other school events. After graduating in 2013, T’Kay went to college to study business. Along the way she found a passion for hosting events, and an internship at Oh So Radio. She was building the creative cocoon she’s currently bursting out of.
Although T’Kay worked diligently on her studies and stockpiled her reputation as a networking prodigy. The million-dollar idea didn’t arise on campus, and the opportunity didn’t come from an administrator of any kind. To get the best out of her studies, Montaque spent a considerable time in the River Rouge Library. There she created a blog, “Plus Sized Boss Babes.” An internet space designed for plus-sized women. At the same time T’Kay secured employment at Darling Dior. A women’s clothing boutique in River Rouge.
