Born December 11, 1967 in Baltimore, Maryland, Monique Imes, or as she’s professionally known, Mo’nique skyrocketed to success as the voluptuous, sassy talking Nikki Parker on the UPN hit television series The Parkers.  An accomplished Stand-Up Comedian, Actress, and Talk Show Host has taken this one of a kind talent and placed her on a select list of triple threat Superstars.   Rarely has a person’s name conjured up so many positive and powerful images as the name Mo’nique.  Mother, Wife, Daughter, Sister, Humanitarian, and oh yeah, Academy Award Winning Actress are just a few of the titles worn by the New Queen of Late Night Television.

When Black Entertainment Television (BET) was looking to compete with both their network and cable competitor’s they turned to a Lady with royal ties.  The former Queen of Comedy not only brought BET the ratings they so coveted, she also provided the network with a talk show to rival that of any other in existence.  Having conquered stage, television, and film has made Mo’nique a global icon and international role model for plus-sized men and women who’ve been told they’re too overweight to be successful.  For those in need of Motivation or Inspiration need only look at this Raven to know that they too can Soar to Unimaginable Heights.
