Monique: I'm good in the kitchen. I can cook seafood, collard greens, black-eyed peas.
Monique: I was babysitting the night High School Musical premiered last year. I watched with the kids and we sang along to the lyrics. I was making $12 an hour.

Latoya West: (about Monique on Dancing With The Stars) She can dance. She's confident without being cocky, and the girl works hard!
TL: What I really love about High School Musical is that it is bring parents and kids together to watch it. Monique: It has such a powerful and positive message, and I think that's something that we really need right now in terms of television for kids, teenagers and families. It really says something about high school and getting away from the cliques -- getting away from what's "normal" and moving to a place where we believe we can do anything.
TL: I can't help but think you're not just at Disney World to make appearance, but to ride Expedition Everest as well. Your impressions of the ride? Monique: I was the most scared of the group on the ride! But I would do it again and again and again.
