12/18: Janelle Monae Featured in MTV Piece on Afro-Punk
MTV's Daniela Capistrano has a feature on Afro-Punk and it features Janelle Monae.
"I felt it was my duty as an artist and as a young African-American woman to support Afro-Punk," Monáe told us at the Afro-Punk Festival last summer.
"I think it's very important to let people know that we're not all the same. Diversity needs to be promoted more ... I love being in that environment, and that is something I am trying to promote."
