Personal Quote:
We have to do something about gun laws. And we also have to do something about police brutality towards African American people. We need more allies. People need to continue to speak out about the way African American people are being treated. An injustice to one black man or woman is an injustice to everybody. See more »Trivia:
Reporter Umberto Gonzales thinks Monáe is the perfect actress to play the X-Men character Dazzler, rather than Taylor Swift. Halston Sage briefly played Dazzler in X-Men: Dark Phoenix (2019). See more »Trademark:
