But her path began in a different direction.

Discovering Her True Calling

Her work spans entertainment, corporate communications, nonprofit initiatives, and public affairs campaigns — all centered around one goal: helping clients amplify their voice and reach the audiences who matter most.

Building Moona Media & Management

In 2008, McQueen founded Moona Media & Management, a boutique strategic communications and talent management firm focused on brand development, media relations, and partnership opportunities.

Through her firm, she has helped guide campaigns, media placements, and brand strategies for a wide range of clients across industries.

Her work has contributed to projects such as:

• President Obama’s Responsible Fatherhood Initiative

• The launch of BET’s Black Girls Rock! Awards

• Universal Pictures’ Larry Crowne

• Kevin Hart’s Laugh at My Pain film campaign

In addition, McQueen has secured placements in major outlets including The New York Times, Black Enterprise, Essence, CBS, and ABC.

Strategic Visibility That Matters

Throughout her career, McQueen has emphasized that successful communications isn’t about chasing attention — it’s about positioning.
