Summary

BAES! This week is very special. It’s not just one of those days. It’s a great day because THE Miss Thang herself, Monica (@MonicaBrown), came through for a true heart-to-heart about all things matters of the heart with Yes, Girl! co-host Charli Penn. She has a hot #1 single (“Commitment”) ruling the charts with a fire video and a new album coming this Fall. Sis shared her entire truth on everything from her greatest musical accomplishments, her divorce from ex-husband Shannon Brown, what it means to be a GREAT friend and why it’s important to tell your kids the whole truth.
