Defund NPR!
Great interview
She is a god
Why'd you put music in brackets?
I really enjoyed this interview, and happened to hear it twice today as I drove from SLC to PHX on different NPR stations (KUER and KJZZ). I liked the musical selections Terry chose when she illustrated and punctuated her points. Ms Monae is also so relatable.
It is the beautiful month of MAY 2020! Do we have to deal with orange 🍊 dude ...EVERY DAY ....for the remainder of this year?
JanelleMonae is PHENOMENAL! I saw her in concert at the Global Citizen show in Central Park, 2017 or 2018. She tore that stage UP! I bought ALL of her recordings & shared them with family & friends ever since. I even teach some of her lyrics in my Black Poetry course. Love her💜
