Monique Coleman celebrated the 15th Anniversary of High School Musical with a tweet commenting on how the date fell on the same day of the Inauguration. She wrote: “When the 15 yr anniversary of High School Musical happens to fall on #inauguration202 & you realize #TaylorforPresident could actually be a real thing someday.”

Monique also spoke to the Insider recently about what it was like playing Taylor McKessie and how she enjoyed the magic of collaborating with Kenny Ortega for the “We’re All In This Together” dance. Monique also commented on how her character often wore headbands because of the lack of experience the hair stylists on set had in styling African American hair. Social media was a buzz with support for Monique and similar stories shared from other actresses in the industry about how African American women have been overlooked when it comes to the industry. We appreciate Monique for speaking up and being an advocate of change in all that she does and a pioneer in the industry with her initiatives for youth and women.

Monique recently filmed an episode of “Family Reunion” on Netflix, also starring Loretta Devine and Tia Mowry-Hardrict. She wrote in a post on Instagram:

I booked the job at 8pm on Friday night and was on set the following Monday at 9am. Less than 72 hours later.
.
Let this be a reminder that you may be closer than you think & everything you desire is just one phone call away. Don’t be deterred by your present circumstances. They can change on a dime. When I woke up that Friday, I had NO idea I was going to be spending the following week making magic with my friends & sharing the screen with the incomparable @lodivadevine ♥️ Not all surprises are bad. #expectmiracles

Zoe’s Dolls: Zoe Overcomes Bullying and Empowers Girls To Love the Skin They’re In

zoesdollsnickawardsI love what Zoe Terry is doing to help instill confidence and self-love in girls. Her organization Zoe’s dolls gives African American dolls to children who may not have had a doll that looked like them. Zoe realized the importance of representation after she was bullied and she wanted to make sure other girls could stand tall and be proud in their complexion. Zoe has been featured in numerous outlets including Good Morning America and TED Talks.

Brainstorm: What’s a need in the community that you’re passionate about? How can you start your own organization or start collecting items to help others?

Today was beyond unbelievable! We kicked off our Black History Month Doll Giveaways. We started it in a BIG way! Good Morning America has came to film the Zoe’s Dolls Movement. It started out at my school where they filmed me going to class and hanging with some of my friends. They also filmed the awesome Karen Davis Athanassiadis and all the work she has done with me. Next stop was off to the doll giveaway with Me and my girls Essence and Zion to bring smiles to some girls’ faces! I will be in the studio live with Good Morning America in NY this month! I am beyond excited! @hasbro thank you for being a huge part of this! @goodmorningamerica thank you for thinking my vision is worth sharing! Thank you @mdcps_d2 for always supporting the mission from the start! Thank you @miami_country_day_school for being the best school ever! #zoesdolls #hasbro #goodmorningamerica #blackgirlmagic @bosszoe11
