CARYTOWN, Va., Aug. 16, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Monkee's of Richmond's owner Leigh Sewell shares an energetic and expressive light as she elevates women's fashion in Carytown.

As the former president of Bon Secours Memorial Medical Center and Rappahannock General Hospital, Leigh will use her superior work ethic, proven business skills and passionate energy as a Monkee's entrepreneur.
