Over the next 2 weeks, we will be highlighting the FLEX actresses who make up the “Lady Train” team’s starting lineup. Check back for more Q&As with members of the cast!

Name: Ciara Monique
Role in FLEX: Cherise Howard

Basketball position on the team: Power Forward
What do you have in common with your character?: We are both spiritual individuals. Though our ideologies may differ in certain areas, I deeply understand the power of belief and can agree when she says “I’ve never witnessed anything more miraculous.” It’s beautiful to see people have hope and connection, it’s beautiful to be part of it. 

What is your character’s “pump-up” song?: “Revolution” by Kirk Franklin

A personal memory from high school: Honestly the ENTIRE SENIOR YEAR! Shout out to Mississippi School of the Arts. We were constantly creating and being silly. The whole experience was amazing, can’t just pick one. 

3 adjectives to describe FLEX: Power, Love, Sisterhood
Favorite 90s style: Crop tops and baggy jeans. I will never let this die. 😁
