Elsie P. Roxborough (1914 – October 2, 1949) was a mixed-race writer, stylist and Detroit socialite who changed her name to Mona Manet to pass as a white woman. She wrote a gossip column and covered cultural events for the Detroit Guardian. A graduate of the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, she was the first African American to live in the dormitories there. She produced the Langston Hughes play Drums of Haiti with the Roxane Players in Detroit. She died of a drug overdose in New York City under unclear circumstances.
