These are some ladies that are on the ball! I love watching Mo, Kita, and T.O. on “The T.O. Show,” and had no idea that they were the first African-American women do put together a show like this. Did you watch this past Sunday when Kita’s boyfriend proposed to her on the cruise? I wanted to be excited, but I saw all that drama they went through last season and early this season and I just haven’t seen enough on screen time of Joe to fall in love with him. Hey, to each their own, and I trust that Kita knows what will make her happy- congrats! Mo and Kita are also hard at work on the Define Your Pretty empowerment campaign and have launched an associated beauty product line. Read all of the deets below in the press release and tell me what you think. ~Ifelicious
October 17, 2011 (New York, NY) – Two of television’s smartest and sassiest ladies are on a mission and want young women everywhere to hear their message. Creators, Executive Producers, and co-stars of VH1’s “The T.O. Show,” Monique “Mo” Jackson and Kita Williams have created a 501(c)3 non-profit empowerment campaign entitled, Define Your Pretty. Established to empower women from the inside out, the campaign encourages dialogue and analysis of the way women are portrayed in the media.
The first African-American women to create, executive produce, and star in a sports-based reality show, Mo and Kita understand the meaning of hard work and the importance of being positive role models. Their hit VH1 reality series, “The T.O. Show,” follows the life of American football star Terrell Owens, highlighting the trials and tribulations of his life. As his friends and publicists, Mo and Kita play a huge role both on and off the screen. A refreshing change of pace from stereotypical reality TV, Mo and Kita set a positive example for women everywhere.
As headliners of United Negro College Fund’s (UNCF) 2011 “Empower Me Tour,” Mo and Kita are currently traveling across the country to Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) introducing their Define Your Pretty empowerment campaign accompanied by their Define Your Pretty Collection of hair and beauty collection.
As Kita explains, “Pretty isn’t just about the visual aspects…a lot of young girls don’t understand that. Define Your Pretty means you define pretty by your own standards. You can be pretty talented, pretty creative, pretty smart…Once you define that from the inside, you can use the Define Your Pretty Collection products to gloss yourself up on the outside.”
