Mo'Nique

The BET Awards were established in 2001 by the Black Entertainment Television network to celebrate African Americans and other minorities in music, acting, sports, and other fields of entertainment over the past year. The awards are presented annually and broadcast live on BET.

This is a show about the life of Nikki Parker, a character played by actress Mo'Nique. Along with her came her daughter, Kim Parker, and her friends, Stevie Van Lowe, and Thaddeus/Tyrell "T" Radcliffe. Nikki has a friend named Andell Wilkerson, who just can't get a man. One of the many themes is Nikki's huge crush on Professor Stanley Oglevee, whom she has chased around for over five years. She just won't accept the fact that he does not love her back. They all go to Santa Monica Junior College, where the show takes place in nearly every episode. This show was also a spinoff of Moesha.
