In addition, Monica is excited to share that February 2023 will bring the premiere of her Apple Music radio show MoTalk which will feature a series of candid, honest, and in-depth conversations.
Monica's BeHUMAN Foundation has teamed up with the People's Station in Atlanta, V-103, to give back to the community this holiday season. Monica announced the details on Greg Street's show and together they'll be picking 10 winners based on submissions of 103 words (or less!) about a random act of kindness you have done.
