Mo'Nique and her gay-inclusive teen book series on "The Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson"
I've always been a fan of big girl comic Mo'Nique. But when I caught her appearance on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson on Friday and learned that she's writing a series of novels for young adults promoting diversity and encouraging kids not to judge one another, I managed to love her even more.
She notes that Beacon Hills High follows a group of kids starting in the ninth grade that covers "ladies and young men, black, white, gay, straight, you name it, it covers everything."
Later in the interview she also explains how working at a phone sex line taught her to not judge other people. Church!
