This past May, Academy Award-winning actress and comedian Mo’Nique, shared a video on her Instagram page with her thoughts about black women wearing bonnets, pajamas and slippers in public.

She was compelled to provide wisdom to young black women about how to present themselves in public after seeing a great number of them wearing the aforementioned garments (and blankets) in the airport while traveling to Jackson, Mississippi for a performance.

Mo’Nique made sure viewers and the “young sistas” she was addressing, knew her message was being given with love in an effort to emphasize the importance of pride in how young black women represent themselves in public spaces.
