Great content, materials with IP, cultural diversity within the black culture, BIPOC stories, etc.
Toy Monique Hawkins, a television executive and producer, currently develops scripted content for BET Networks and the newly derived BET Studios as Vice President. While both brands are WHERE BLACK CULTURE LIVES, they differ in that BET Networks promotes black culture content, while BET Studios promotes black content creators. Prior to BETN/S, Toy Monique developed, sold and produced projects at Will Packer Productions - a television and feature film production company known for its box office successes: GIRLS TRIP, NIGHT SCHOOL & THINK LIKE A MAN. Some of the projects under Toy Monique’s purview have included THAT GIRL LAY LAY, BIGGER, AMBITIONS, FIRST WIVES CLUB, and THE MS. PAT SHOW. Toy Monique, a Chicago native, made the move to Hollywood after twelve years in business & technology – leaving Willis Towers Watson, a leader in outsourcing and technology solutions, after two years of overlap in both careers. The transition was seamless, thanks to remote work opportunities (pre-pandemic) and the Semester in LA program at Columbia College Chicago where Toy Monique sought her Masters in Creative Producing. Toy Monique, is currently dedicated to her work in development, and looks to make great strides in the entertainment industry for people of color - producing stories across all genres, settings, and periods of time. As a strong believer in lifting while climbing, Toy Monique mentors industry professionals, speaks and attends panels, hosts empowerment gatherings and supports independent filmmaking.
