Janelle Monáe has been a huge inspiration for me for almost a decade. Her unique style and fearlessness are things I covet. Back in college, I actually borrowed ideas from her wardrobe and made them my own. I couldn't pull off a pompadour, but I had trousers and blazers on lock. Her music and dancing style influenced a lot of my artwork personally and professionally. Her ambitions have, in a way, helped guide my artistic journey. For that, I am thankful to her.

Without further adieu, one of my favorite songs and music videos...
