Mistah Wilson: On ThaWilsonBlock, we believe in ENCOURAGEMENT. It can be vital to our success. What would you say has encouraged and motivated to be the artist that you are?
Moniquea: Knowing that there are people out there who believe in me; and are interested in what I have to offer the world of music... That alone gives me the greatest encouragement and motivation. It's comforting, and it’s a blessing to know that I have genuine supporters out there.
 
Mistah Wilson: What kind words would you give to a young aspiring singer?
Moniquea: Pray and believe that you will make it to where you want to be, learn the business, stay who you are, don't give up, don't stop pursuing, always give it all you can, be appreciative of those who love, support and believe in you; and pray to stay humble no matter what happens.
