Monique is such an amazing influence, showing how important it is to give back in ways that can enrich the lives of others. She is also on the Gimme MO’ tour, visiting schools and spreading the inspirational message that youth can make a difference, and giving them a platform to be heard. For Veteran’s Day she gave her time to Mission Serve and USO, welcoming home troops and serving meals. Check out a shout out video she did below:
We love that Monique is passionate not only about youth, but all of her about her supporters. Check out the shout-out video she gave to Dreamer ENT below. We’re honored to help spread the word! To all of our Dreamer ENT readers – be sure to join MO’vement!

Lip-Dub Fun For a Cause: Martin High School’s One-Take Music Video
What better way to bring together an entire school then a little bit of fun and lip-synching? Watch this cool music video featuring almost 4,000 students and staff at Martin High School in Arlington, Texas. The idea for creating the video was sparked when the students told administrators that there was “no sense of community or family” at the school, and this could cause serious problems like bullying and isolation.
Shot in one take, the special “Lip Dub” video includes every student, teacher and staff member in the school, with select students taking turns lip-synching songs, and everyone else having fun and creating excitement in the background. The video is pretty awesome and creative, especially the cause of building community! (We’re just wondering who is going to clean up afterwards?;)
Here’s a little bit more about the story from WFAA, the local Dallas news station:
“As humans, we’re social beings,” said Martin senior Chris Leyda. “Things go wrong when we’re not in contact with others.”
Chris said he’s seen how easy it can be to become disconnected and isolated. Experts say that can lead to bullying, or just plain indifference.
“There was a kid that has autism, and he felt like he was picked on, and he literally told me that I was the only friend he’d talked to in a year or so,” Chris said.
You might see that kid in this video, or someone like him. The video shoot was enormous fun, with enormous benefits.
