Canvas with Novo Collective
Canvas is where Monica pulls back the curtain on the way the world actually moves—through culture, creativity, design, conversations, and the people shaping what comes next.
Each episode is a fresh canvas: stories that challenge the obvious, moments that shift perspective, and honest dialogue about the ideas driving art, lifestyle, entertainment, architecture, influence, and human connection.
This isn’t a highlight reel. It’s the real, unpolished, high-energy mix of insight, curiosity, and personality that defines how Monica and Franklyn see the world.
If you want depth without pretension, style without fluff, and conversations that stay with you long after the episode ends—welcome to Canvas.
