Are you ready for Mo’? Monique Coleman is preparing to launch her own online talk show for teens called Gimme Mo’, which premieres this fall. The show is aimed at inspiring young people and based on the clips Monique has posted so far it seems like it will be very upbeat and will touch on relatable issues:

Gimme Mo’ Show Description

GimmeMo’ is an online talk show launching in the fall of 2010. Actress Monique Coleman is hosting the show with the intention of empowering today’s youth. She will be facilitating safe conversation about real issues, bringing awareness to organizations that are serving teens, & conducting celebrity interviews. Each webisode centers around one compelling topic. Monique recognizes that the youth are constantly on the web, so she will meet them where they are and provide them with much needed positive content.

Monique is also busy working on a book called “From Ramen Noodles to the Red Carpet: A Guide to Becoming Who You Are Without Forgetting Who You Were.” She was quoted on Just Jared Jr. saying the book is “primarily for actors, but speaks to anyone who has ever felt alone or in need of support in a difficult career. Drawing from personal experience, I offer advice and address how to maintain a positive attitude and believe in your self when others may not.”

Stay connected with Monique on Twitter, Facebook, on her official website and on her Tumblr.

Below is Monique’s personal statement for the Gimme Mo’ Talk Show; we love her passion and vision:

Corbin Bleu wants your help and voice to make a difference in the world.

Corbin, who is currently completing the last few weeks of his run on Broadway’s In the Heights, recently tweeted that he will also be doing live shows from the site. We think it’s great that Corbin is so committed to making a difference in the world and that he’s inspiring others to do the same!

I love the lyrics of Make History like:

“Hey, you were made for something great, you got history to make…
So where ya wanna go? Who ya wanna be? Whatcha gonna do?

Everybody on your feet, you reach as high as you can dream…
So never stop imagining; don’t miss a beat, make history…”
