Also stay tuned for Wednesday, when Monique will be speaking at the Peace One Day concert in London.

Today from 3pm to 5pm EDT, Monique will be participating in a special event as world population reaches the 7 billion mark to raise awareness around global issues related to women and girls, unleash their potential and empower them to bring social change. She will be joined by Louis Quam, Natalie Imbruglia and many others. If you head over to 7 Billion Actions you’ll be able to catch the livestream. Busy during the livestream?

With her world tour over, Monique is back in New York City at the United Nations speaking on panels concerning youth. Today, the UN posted this video compilation of her travels. Check it out!

Hey everyone! Just wanted to take a moment to introduce my new co-web Jo! She’s a huge Mo’ fan (almost loves her as much as me ) And she’s gonna help me keep this site updated! So feel free to drop her a hello here and make her feel welcome. I’m super excited to have her aboard!

Now that the Gimme Mo’ World Tour is on it’s last leg, we felt it was high time to update the site with some of the media we’ve seen from the rest of it! We are working on uploading pictures to the gallery as well getting more videos into their proper place! Check out what we have and keep coming back for more!

The Gimme Mo World Tour has brought Monique to South America now, specifically Chile. Yesterday she sat down with Revista Teen to do a Ustream chat. If you missed it, you can check out the feed below!

As you may have noticed, updates have been lacking on the site recently. I would like to apologize for this and assure you my love and dedication to this site has not dwindled in the least. While I should soon be able to post more regularly here soon, I have decided I would love to have a co-web to help out! The requirements are simple: have a love for Monique and be able to write in English. That doesn’t mean English has to be your primary language, but as it is the primary language for the site, you would need to be able to use it fluently.

Previous blog/fansite experience is helpful but not necessary. If you’re interested, send me an email at admin@momo-coleman.net.

Thanks and see you around more soon!!
