Cell 22

Cell 22
By Monica Smit

A story of conviction, controversy, and personal transformation.

This deeply personal account shares the journey of Monica Smit—founder of Reignite Democracy Australia—tracing her path from a carefree lifestyle to becoming a prominent and polarising activist during the COVID era.

Through moments of challenge, confrontation, and personal reflection, Monica recounts her experiences speaking out against government responses to the pandemic, and the consequences that followed—including her arrest and time spent in custody.

Inside this book, you’ll explore:

• A personal transformation from “party girl” to outspoken activist
• Reflections on freedom, human rights, and personal responsibility
• Experiences during the COVID period in Australia
• The emotional and psychological impact of activism and adversity
• Lessons learned through hardship, resilience, and self-discovery

Told in a candid and unfiltered voice, this book offers insight into one individual’s perspective during a highly complex and divisive time in recent history.

It is a story of finding your voice—whatever that may look like—and the personal cost that can come with standing by your beliefs.
