Actress and singer Janelle Monae is taking on the world, unafraid and proud. With her organization Fem the Future, the 31-year-old wants to bring professional women together to inspire and aid the next generation of powerful females.
“It’s a grassroots movement about making sure that those in a position of power are actively including more women who can compete at a high level,” explains Monae. Janelle is also the head of Wondaland Records, and practices what she preaches by hiring female producers and engineers. The star also gave an impassioned and incredible speech at last year’s Women’s March.
