Monique made her television debut and became a household name as a star on the WB sitcom 'The Parkers'. Ever since then, Monique has been embraced by not only African American audiences but all other races as well.
What makes Monique so enticing and adored is that she is able to make fun of herself and use it to her advantage. Monique has gone on record and talked about battling weight problems and depression as a child and that comedy was a way that she used to battle her insecurities. She has talked about battling addiction and relationship problems and not sulking over it but enjoying life and if you ever watch Monique in action it is a definite enjoyable expierience.
After her Oscar accolades, Monique is back to television and most recently was the driving force behind the VH1 show 'Monique's Fat Chance' which was a cross between comedy and women's empowerment for overweight women. The show is all about Monique full circle and her showing other women who have been in her situation that as long as they have a positive outlook there is nothing that can stop them from going to where they want to be.
