Come through Mo!
Monica slay Brown got fierce and sexy in
a lace and cut-out fit to cover UPTOWN magazine, and we’re like *Diva Snaps*
fashion singing Diva… See more up close and personal pic of Mo inside the mag
spread.
Mo snapped inside the
page of Uptown mag to opening up about having a Boss Diva ambition, and where
her 'Miss Thang' originated from:
Check out the what the
35 year Mother of three says:
Monica on being
guarded:
"People wouldn’t really be able to imagine the things I’ve seen
and been through. My talent has always been there, along with the spiritual
foundation my mother laid, but there was always another side, a side that
belonged to the streets. When my parents divorced, I became two different
people.”
Monica on being Karl
Lagerfeld's muse:
"I’ve been there and done that. I remember speaking with
Karl and him telling me what ‘we’ were going to wear, and what his thoughts for
me were. I’ve had moments that some [will not recognize] because social media
wasn’t a thing back then. They weren’t done for the ‘Gram, but that doesn’t
mean they didn’t happen."
Monica on her
"Miss Thang" moniker:
“Dallas [Austin] would bring producers in the
studio to play records for me and I’d be quick to say ‘No’ if I didn’t feel it.
I knew who I was and what I wanted to say. That’s where ‘Miss Thang’ came from.
He’d say, ‘Miss Thang don’t like it!’ ... Please don’t get me wrong, I will get
someone together, quickly. You will not come at me wrong without
repercussions."
Monica on triumphing
over tragedy:
"As I think back over everything I’ve accomplished in my
career—the awards, opportunities and exposure are all there, of course. But,
what gives me unspeakable joy is the fact that I’ve touched countless women,
and some young men, along the way with my music and my message. To know that I
was helping to save lives while feeling like my own was in the process of
ending, means more than any manufactured victory ever could."
Monica on being
labeled the "underdog":
"I know people have called me the
underdog. I was even told the kiss of death would be the four years I took off
after the birth of my boys. I’ve executed my career exactly how I’ve wanted to
and that’s the most important thing. And if I am an underdog because I’ve
chosen to put my family first, to be guided by my spirituality or allow true
love to be my solace, then so be it."
