Janelle Monaé Robinson is an African-American singer, songwriter, actress, and producer. Monaé was recently nominated for two Grammy awards: “Dirty Computer” for Album of the Year and “Pynk” for Best Music Video. Although Monaé did not win in either category, she dedicated the nominations to her “Trans Brothers and Sister.” She also spoke of how difficult it can be as a creative person who “color[s] outside the lines,” to also be out as a queer black woman.
In an interview with Rolling Stone last year, Monaé told the publication that she identities as pansexual. Unlike bisexuality, pansexual usually means being attracted to anyone regardless of their gender.
