Upon graduating high school at 17 years old, Monique Hall moved to Augusta, Georgia to attend Paine College as an All American athlete on a full basketball scholarship in the early 1990s. Having no guidance, she later became involved with the wrong crowd and met her then-boyfriend who was a drug dealer and key component to one of the largest drug cartels in the US, unbeknownst to Hall. After a drug deal gone bad, Monique was kidnapped and forced to witness the murder of her godbrother by her boyfriend and his accomplice. Losing both her godbrother and her lover caused Monique to quickly spiral out of control, and she turned to drinking and negative influences, landing her in jail.
