The name of Monifa creates a very quiet, practical nature and a clever and inventive mind. Scientific, technical, and mathematical subjects appeal to you. Practical creativity such as in craft work, cooking, or sewing appeals to you. You take life seriously and can be easily and deeply hurt and go into moods which can be quite extreme at times, causing much turmoil and unhappiness. Being steadfast and trustworthy, you are recognized as a hard worker who experiences satisfaction from accomplishment. As a result, you could be accused of being unfriendly. You could develop great powers of concentration and memory as you can become completely absorbed in a subject to the exclusion of all else. Because of your reserved nature and self-consciousness, you find it easier to express your thoughts through writing than verbally. One of your greatest salvations is being out in nature, for it is there that you find the peace and serenity you so much desire. You desire so much to be understood, but your name has limited your verbal expression to such an extent that it is very difficult for you to divulge your innermost thoughts even to those closest to you.
