If "Real Housewives of Atlanta" does not really fit that description, then she would prefer a show where she can "help girls like myself or people from the communities that are similar to the world that I'm from."
The singer is on tour with Xscape this winter, and already, Monica is thinking of how she can plan her schedule so that she can get back to her kids sooner.
