After a brief hiatus from the music industry, Monica is back in the spotlight with an intimate, provocative docu-drama that takes a look at her day-to-day world in the new original BET series.

MONICA: STILL STANDING premieres Tuesday, Oct. 27 at 10 ET/ 9C.

In this series, Monica will open her heart and life to viewers every week and take them on her personal journey of survival and enlightenment. Viewers will have the chance to experience the many facets of Monica’s life as she balances family, deals with her own body and health challenges, creates her fifth album and tackles the hardest job of all – being a full-time mother of two young sons.

“It was very scary stepping into the type of situation that would expose me and my life,” said Monica. “But I think that there are so many kids now that are aspiring to do exactly what I’ve done and I felt like that was worth me putting myself on the line so they would really understand what it’s like to try and juggle both a music career and personal life.”

Even with all of the success in her entertainment career as the youngest R&B recording act in history to have two consecutive chart-topping hits, and as an actress, Monica’s life has not been without its challenges. But with the spiritual guidance of her parents, family and fiancée, she has withstood the storms of life and is still standing today. Strong, poised and vivacious, Monica wants to show viewers and fans that anything is possible once you have set your mind to do it.
