Summary: Throughout the month of February, we’re honoring African American figures who’ve helped shape the face of our nation, with encore presentations of their most compelling interviews. BET host Mo’Nique, who won an Oscar for her performance in 2009’s Precious, kicks off the series. During the funnylady’s appearance, she reflects on her most memorable complement surrounding that critically-acclaimed film. “The night of the permiere of Precious, I saw Sidney Poitier from my car,” she tells The Breakdown Show’s Audley Stephenson and Dave Mendonca. “He was already on the red carpet. And I said to my husband, ‘Oh my God. There’s Sydney Poitier! I would love to meet him.’”
