Speaker 1: My dad had gotten on crack cocaine. That changed our relationship.
Speaker 1: I was dealing with real rejection, abandonment issues. What does
Speaker 1: it mean a goal against your whole family? It can
Speaker 1: be a lonely road as she was growing up and
Speaker 1: finding herself. Was that difficult for you? You actually made
Speaker 1: a book of essays. It was inspired by the album
Speaker 1: that I did, Dirty Computer. I can't wait to read it.

Speaker 1: mo foe and I love that I do too. Please

Speaker 1: we need, and we are all a fan of yours
Speaker 1: as well. Every single person I know, including me, is
Speaker 1: just obsessed with you. Thank you guys. I kind of
Speaker 1: just want to jump in. Yeah. So you're from Kansas, Yes,
Speaker 1: Kansas City, Kansas. I love it. I grew up in
Speaker 1: a really big family. Yeah. My mom was like one
Speaker 1: of twelve kids and she's the baby. My grandmother had
Speaker 1: fourteen brothers and sisters, and she was a sharecropper in Aberdeen, Mississippi,
Speaker 1: and they would share one pair of shoes. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: so I have forty nine first cousins, So I know.
Speaker 1: I grew up Baptist, super religious, a super conservative so
Speaker 1: I didn't love that. I didn't feel like I could
Speaker 1: really dream big. I had to kind of create my
Speaker 1: own world. I want to talk about the journey of
Speaker 1: your sexuality and you realizing this is who I want
Speaker 1: to be, this who I am in After years of
Speaker 1: speculation and questions about her sexuality, Janelle made a bold
Speaker 1: move and came out on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine.
Speaker 1: She revealed she is pant sexual, someone attracted to all
Speaker 1: sexes and genders. I'm non binary, so I just don't
Speaker 1: see myself as a woman or solely or you know.
Speaker 1: I feel all of my energy. I feel like God
Speaker 1: is so much bigger than the heat or the sheet.
Speaker 1: It's like it's like something. And if I am from God,
Speaker 1: i am everything. I am everything. But I will always
Speaker 1: always stand with women. I will always stand with black women.
Speaker 1: But I just see everything that beyond beautiful, beyond the binary.
Speaker 1: When I see people, I see your energy. I don't
Speaker 1: see like how you identified totally, and I feel like
Speaker 1: that opens you up to fall in love with with whoever,
Speaker 1: with any beautiful spirit. You know, so interesting, the times
Speaker 1: they are changing, Yes, what got you ready to come
Speaker 1: out publicly? Well, you know, somebody said, if you don't
Speaker 1: work out the things that you need to work out first,
Speaker 1: Yeah with the world. You've been working it out with
Speaker 1: the world. Yeah, you don't want to do that. That's
Speaker 1: what I didn't want to do. So, you know, I
Speaker 1: thought I needed to have like all my answers correct.
Speaker 1: I don't want to say the wrong thing. And also
Speaker 1: I hadn't had the necessary conversations with my family, right.
Speaker 1: I wasn't ready to have my family question my personal life.
Speaker 1: For get calls from people that still look at me
Speaker 1: as a little punking. That's what they called me back home,
Speaker 1: Like are you a little punking? That's so cute. Nobody
Speaker 1: calls me Janelle. I love that. When I got home,
Speaker 1: I'm plunking. So it took me some time to be like, okay, mom.
Speaker 1: She had a lot of questions at first, Okay, well
Speaker 1: what does this mean? You know? And my grandmother rest
Speaker 1: her so I love her, but she was super religious. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, my whole family is church, church, church, and
Speaker 1: I'm just like, what does it mean to go against
Speaker 1: your whole family on this thing? But I was ready.
Speaker 1: I was like, you know what, if they don't love me,
Speaker 1: don't call me ask me for no money. You will
Speaker 1: not get my l G B t Q plus money.
Speaker 1: How about that? And I think that still someone still
Speaker 1: are like, but let me be fly because I need to. Seriously,
Speaker 1: you gotta love our people, you gotta love But yeah,
Speaker 1: I needed to have those conversations. I didn't want to
Speaker 1: work that out. Yeah, I needed to talk to my dad,
Speaker 1: who was just great. My sister knew already because I've
Speaker 1: been in monogamous relationships, I've been in polyamorous relationship right,
Speaker 1: but I knew that I couldn't be a little Punkin.
Speaker 1: I couldn't be little Janelle. I had to be where
Speaker 1: I was. I know who I am. I've been playing
Speaker 1: a version of some parts of me, but now I'm
Speaker 1: owning all of me. I had to own all of
Speaker 1: me to really be able to talk about it publicly. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that makes total. To be comfortable with who you are
Speaker 1: first before you can share it with anyone else. Here's
Speaker 1: the one point that I think most people miss. We
Speaker 1: are so worried about other people accepting us. The first
Speaker 1: question one has to ask, how come I don't accept myself? Okay,
Speaker 1: And that's where the work starts. Yeah, yeah, right, exactly.
Speaker 1: Really having to look at yourself and go, why do
Speaker 1: I have a problem with me? Me? Why am I
Speaker 1: scared to step out and say if I'm a woman
Speaker 1: who likes other women? Why is that so difficult for
Speaker 1: me to just come out and say that. And it's like, well,
Speaker 1: my mom might think this, and my dad might think that,
Speaker 1: and my cousins might think this, and it's like, okay,
Speaker 1: but what do you think about it? First? Do you think?
Speaker 1: And then you got to go into oh, well I
Speaker 1: was taught that that wasn't the right thing to do. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was taught that. And it's like now we have
Speaker 1: to like we got a bass track and we have
Speaker 1: to read. We have to get to unravel all that,
Speaker 1: and then we have to give ourselves new information, information
Speaker 1: foundation for ourselves to sit on. You know that God
Speaker 1: loves all people, yea, God don't make mistakes. And so
Speaker 1: the more we get comfortable with ourselves and the more
Speaker 1: that we can walk in our own skin, we don't
Speaker 1: really expect or need others like you coming around. You
Speaker 1: gotta be bringing right because I don't need your validation exactly.
Speaker 1: Were you always this unapologetic, fearless? Absolutely not. I've been
Speaker 1: doing a lot of healing I'm sure most of us
Speaker 1: have been in the pandemic. Is when you have to
Speaker 1: stay in, you go in. Right. I was thinking back
Speaker 1: to when I first started, and I was like man
Speaker 1: as as free as I was on stage, when I
Speaker 1: came off stage, I was still that scared little girl,
Speaker 1: like I'm not good enough. That was always in the
Speaker 1: back of my mind. Well, they love me. I just
Speaker 1: remember pulling my hair because I wanted my hair to
Speaker 1: be longer, because all of the older girls used to
Speaker 1: love playing in the younger little girl's hair. And I
Speaker 1: have friends who had really long, like silky hair, And
Speaker 1: I was just like I never never feeling good enough.
Speaker 1: You know. My parents were not together, and I always
Speaker 1: thought it was me the reason why that, Like, why
Speaker 1: am I not being taken care of by my dad?
Speaker 1: He had gotten on crack cocaine and that changed his life.
Speaker 1: That changed out our relationship. Now he's completely sobers, doing incredible.
Speaker 1: That's like my best friend. But this was when he
Speaker 1: was sick. At this time, right, I was dealing with
Speaker 1: real rejection abandonment issues. What if people leave me was
Speaker 1: a direct correlation to my dad, you know, And I
Speaker 1: always feeling like if I wasn't perfect, will they leave
Speaker 1: me or if I I don't want to feel the
Speaker 1: pain of anybody leaving. Does that make deeply? It makes
Speaker 1: a lot of sense. Yeah. Do you feel like you
Speaker 1: can relate to those feelings of abandonment and rejection with
Speaker 1: your father as well? Oh my god, Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: my mother's recovering addict and my dad was an addict,
Speaker 1: and part of me coming into this industry, I ran
Speaker 1: into the same thing of just like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: people are having all these demands and me and I
Speaker 1: got afraid of success because I said, I don't want
Speaker 1: to feel the hurt when it all goes away, right,
Speaker 1: And so I actually started playing myself really small and
Speaker 1: started hiding behind being a mother and all of that
Speaker 1: kind of stuff because I was like, that's not for me. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, but I had to confront all that, deal
Speaker 1: with it and heal it. Yeah, you know, slowly emerge
Speaker 1: in my more authentic self instead of trying to be
Speaker 1: something for every body. And it's been a hell of
Speaker 1: a journey. But it is a treacherous thing I have
Speaker 1: to do publicly. Yeah, it can be a lonely road.
Speaker 1: The moments that I felt most disappointed was when I
Speaker 1: was afraid, Yeah, because I was afraid of failing. This
Speaker 1: is very important in regards to just bringing it all
Speaker 1: back to abandonment, because you've dealt with this too in
Speaker 1: your fears of like how people think about you and
Speaker 1: think about things, and it's how do you fear It's
Speaker 1: like a universal problem because we all want to be
Speaker 1: part of a tribe where wired humans are wired to
Speaker 1: want to be accepted by the community. You will have
Speaker 1: your community even as your authentic self. And that's the
Speaker 1: thing that we miss we need to and it's knowing
Speaker 1: that those who can't ride with you as your authentic
Speaker 1: self hard right to the faster you get to you
Speaker 1: you're that's amazing. And we're trying to hatch one two
Speaker 1: trips that don't belong. They don't. It's like a play, right,
Speaker 1: They're going to be reoccurring characters. You know, they're going
Speaker 1: to be folks that won't make it back for the
Speaker 1: second act. That's right, and we have to just be
Speaker 1: fine with letting go. You go to different levels in
Speaker 1: your life, everybody can't come. The people that are supposed
Speaker 1: to be with me, they are going to find. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so we're about to make a dream come true. Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: this is one of your biggest fans. They're in a
Speaker 1: hotel room down the street preparing to come to the
Speaker 1: tablet we like it. They have no idea that you're here,
Speaker 1: so the RTT team is going to let us know
Speaker 1: when they arrive. I really explained it. Wow. But first,
Speaker 1: Janelle's fans call themselves fan droids and have so many
Speaker 1: burning questions for you. Let's roll the first one. Oh gosh,
Speaker 1: be nice, guys, yo, whatever it table. My name is
Speaker 1: Andre from the South side of Chicago. Janelle. So many
Speaker 1: people look up to you, and I've always been amazed
Speaker 1: and impressed by your journey. My question for you is
Speaker 1: what is the best piece of advice that you have
Speaker 1: ever received? Who Oh, I have received a lot of
Speaker 1: advice that I mean I listened to. Literally. One of
Speaker 1: the things that we have to realize is that everybody
Speaker 1: is not going to be happy for you. Oh say
Speaker 1: that part. Say it in your circle, that's right. And externally,
Speaker 1: you're going to come up against people that will pretend like, oh,
Speaker 1: this is so great, But because they feel close to
Speaker 1: your orbit, they think you owe them something. They make
Speaker 1: you feel guilty about not giving them something. And not
Speaker 1: really happy because maybe you're aware they wanted to be here.
Speaker 1: I wish I would have known that sooner, you know,
Speaker 1: because it would have saved me a lot of just
Speaker 1: like expectations of well, I thought this was supposed to be,
Speaker 1: you know, a best friend or a family member, and
Speaker 1: here they are telling me that they were jealous, or
Speaker 1: even if they didn't say it, their actions were just
Speaker 1: like stemming from that. You know, what's the next question? Hi,
Speaker 1: my name's Be I'm from London and I find that
Speaker 1: heartbreak can be one of the most inspiring places to
Speaker 1: create from. So my question is, what's been one of
Speaker 1: your biggest heartbreaks. Oh, that's a very good question. I
Speaker 1: think my biggest heartbreak is when I let myself down
Speaker 1: about like when I feel like I'm scared. I didn't
Speaker 1: really take in that moment like I can relate to. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like I'm judging myself and then you're sitting in regret. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: I've done that so many times after performances, like I
Speaker 1: look back at him like this was wrong, this was wrong,
Speaker 1: and it just breaks my heart. Why did I pile
Speaker 1: onto myself? Yeah, Like it's enough people that don't know
Speaker 1: me that will have things to say, but I was
Speaker 1: joining in on that and that's what helped me. You
Speaker 1: can relate to Yeah, the amount of self torture I've
Speaker 1: done after shows, albums, anything, it's it's ridiculous. I feel
Speaker 1: like artists we just can we can relate to them.
Speaker 1: We can be in our own head. And that's definitely
Speaker 1: a heartbreak and you're the only one that can fix that.
Speaker 1: You have to really let it go and really believe
Speaker 1: I can't do that to me. I love me. I
Speaker 1: just love everything that you stand for. So so many
Speaker 1: people find you at such a huge inspiration. Let me
Speaker 1: just say, when you made the choice to say no, mom,
Speaker 1: no dad, this is what I want to do totally,
Speaker 1: that was inspiring for me during the time when I
Speaker 1: was trying to ask myself what I wanted to do.
Speaker 1: When I was making decisions, I was like if little
Speaker 1: Willow like like hit and then like no, that's not
Speaker 1: what I want to do, and then completely blossoms into
Speaker 1: something that feels so just organically you. When I saw you,
Speaker 1: I was just like flabbergast. I always like, in the
Speaker 1: best possible way, let me ask you. We're talking about
Speaker 1: how much you inspired other people, But who did you
Speaker 1: look to for inspiration? I am a Lauren Hill, just piple.
Speaker 1: I had always thought she looked like somebody in my
Speaker 1: family so much so when I met her, she said
Speaker 1: that to me. Um, but I knew I couldn't be
Speaker 1: like her, like she's one of one, so I had
Speaker 1: to really figure out Genomon day. That's right. So that
Speaker 1: was inspiring. And also Prince, I actually was scared of
Speaker 1: Prince though before I met him. I had a dream
Speaker 1: that he would chase me around in a purple suit,
Speaker 1: Prince very witchy energy. It was super like and and
Speaker 1: and then when I met him though, it was just like, man, Yeah,
Speaker 1: like he never allowed his mystery to get in the
Speaker 1: way of his mentorship. That's right, Like he never allowed that. Wait,
Speaker 1: hold on repeat that he never allowed his mystery to
Speaker 1: get in the way of his instorship. And that's something
Speaker 1: I try to live by. Never allowed that. You got
Speaker 1: to share these seeds, man, like we need each up,
Speaker 1: like somebody who has walked this path being able to
Speaker 1: sit down and tell to you and say, here are
Speaker 1: the mistakes that I made, Here's what I see you're
Speaker 1: doing amazing, Here's where I see you know, maybe you
Speaker 1: may need some help here. We were very close, very
Speaker 1: very close, and I always he just always feels with me.
Speaker 1: And the main thing I always admired about Prince was
Speaker 1: just the scope of his musicianship. Yeah, Like you would
Speaker 1: look at the credits on a song, it would be
Speaker 1: like base Prince, every keyboard press like wow. Oh yes,
Speaker 1: So this photo, this was me opening up for him.
Speaker 1: He came out during my set and performed with me.
Speaker 1: I featured him on my second album. He didn't charge
Speaker 1: me anything to be on my own. So you actually
Speaker 1: made a book of essays yea a short story sci
Speaker 1: fi um collection, and it was inspired by the album
Speaker 1: and the film that I did. Dirty Computer. They started
Speaker 1: calling us computers. You a dirty If you look different,
Speaker 1: you're dirty if you refused to live the way they dictating.
Speaker 1: Janelle has turned her futuristic vision into a new sci
Speaker 1: fi book, The Memory Librarian. The five short stories, each
Speaker 1: written by a different co author, explore queer identity, race,
Speaker 1: and love. All are set in the same harsh future,
Speaker 1: a dismal place where anyone labeled deviant has their memories
Speaker 1: wiped clean, so they forget who they love and what
Speaker 1: they believe. Wow. So if you're a dirty computer, if
Speaker 1: you're queer, if you don't share the same religious beliefs,
Speaker 1: if you buck up against the system in any way.
Speaker 1: They cleaned all the memories so they can manipulate them
Speaker 1: and make this place called New Don be exactly what
Speaker 1: they wanted to be. I'm just having goose bumps right now.
Speaker 1: I'm just like collaborated with five black writers Danny lore,
Speaker 1: Eve el Ewing, Shari Rene Thomas, Janka Delgado, and Elijah
Speaker 1: Don Johnson. But the cool thing about the Memory Librarian
Speaker 1: is all of the leads are non binary black folks
Speaker 1: in the l g B, t q q I plus
Speaker 1: community or women. Yeah, we don't just stay down like
Speaker 1: we get up. You know, this is a reminder that
Speaker 1: in every era, if you try to oppress the marginalized,
Speaker 1: you will not win. So that's the message of the book.
Speaker 1: That is the message of the book, And to protect
Speaker 1: your memories. Our memories make up the quality of our life.
Speaker 1: I can't wait to I can't wait to read it. Right,
Speaker 1: we wanted to meet the woman that brought you to
Speaker 1: this planet. Oh my mommy, I love my mom so much.
Speaker 1: That lady, I mean a firecracker, like will say what
Speaker 1: is on her mind? She had me really young. She
Speaker 1: was working class, she was a janitor, was always in
Speaker 1: the front row at the talent showcases, like my baby.
Speaker 1: People call her Madam Hawthorne. That's right. I love you.
Speaker 1: I love now. I'm just happy that somebody invited me.
Speaker 1: I said, are you kidding me? The red table? This
Speaker 1: is my ride or died when I tell you ride
Speaker 1: it out? I'm just like, that's it. I've taken her
Speaker 1: with me when I was gone to the White House,
Speaker 1: and they just followed it away. Your mom, that's right,
Speaker 1: like my mom better than me. Hello, you look so cute.
Speaker 1: Thank you man, I said, you just like her. As
Speaker 1: I was watching her and all of you interacting, I said,
Speaker 1: Janelle and Will they are a mess. Oh yes, right here.
Speaker 1: You're so beautiful. You get it all. Look the body,
Speaker 1: all of it. Everyone. I want you, Rodney, oh my
Speaker 1: rod And I just recently got me a booth. Hello, okay,
Speaker 1: love that. I go down the lat Jada, and you
Speaker 1: are so totality. I watch every movie that you have made.
Speaker 1: Thank you so good. Thank you. As she was growing
Speaker 1: up and finding herself, was that difficult for you, specifically
Speaker 1: around her sexuality too? Oh, well, she talked to me
Speaker 1: about it before she decided to come out, so I
Speaker 1: was very understanding and shade up. When people are an
Speaker 1: adult and make their own money, what can you say
Speaker 1: to all this one. I can't say nothing, you and
Speaker 1: me or in the same exactly. Very proud of her.
Speaker 1: I love her unconditional. Nobody will take that away from m.
Speaker 1: But I get a lot of backlash about you now.
Speaker 1: I tell them back at home, I said, who are
Speaker 1: you to judge? There? You go? You stick up for
Speaker 1: her all the time, and they don't want the bear
Speaker 1: to come out of there you go. I know about
Speaker 1: that too. I love that because they're always our little babies.
Speaker 1: And I tell you, it don't take you long to
Speaker 1: stay mad at me. Well, how long does she stay
Speaker 1: mad at you? Oh? We usually talk. We talked, trying
Speaker 1: not to let it sit for long. That we've only
Speaker 1: had a couple of bumpings, you know, but we we
Speaker 1: definitely were both really passionate. Yeah, so I'll just go allright.
Speaker 1: We sometimes need to take a moment apart to get
Speaker 1: our thoughts together. But that's never long. Yeah, that's never long.
Speaker 1: But I need her, so I can't be going with
Speaker 1: I can't. I'll be like, I'm mad, but can you
Speaker 1: give me advice? This is reverse. I need her. I
Speaker 1: need her too, Yeah, I need her. I need her.
Speaker 1: We know how to love. Yes, that's right. Grandma taught me.
Speaker 1: Grandma and you taught Jade. I can tell. I just
Speaker 1: want to talking to somebody. Jaydom, you probably understand what
Speaker 1: I'm saying right now. I said, listen, all of us
Speaker 1: are not going to be wealthy. It's pick and choose
Speaker 1: who's going to be wealthy and Janelle, praise the Lord.
Speaker 1: Everybody's not gonna be They want to get your autographed,
Speaker 1: they want to see you a film or whatever. They
Speaker 1: want to do. Chosen people or that a way you've
Speaker 1: been chosen. Jade has been chosen me. Yeah, mate, we've
Speaker 1: been chosen. But I'm gonna change that for you. What's
Speaker 1: that I'm gonna change that for you? I gotta treat
Speaker 1: will you. I'm a touch, got a beautiful soon, you
Speaker 1: got a beautiful heart, and you are a vessel for
Speaker 1: that beautiful woman. I try to be a chosen I
Speaker 1: don't ever, ever, ever ever think you know you are beautiful.
Speaker 1: That's so weird. I feel that I feeling it's a
Speaker 1: vibration at this table, We'll see I can see your
Speaker 1: heart right. Do you do you do? Jack? I told
Speaker 1: somebody I'm scared. Everyone's the Miss Janey's so happy to
Speaker 1: have you here. We also have a um we have
Speaker 1: super fans that up a secret mission. Oh my goodness
Speaker 1: for one of your biggest fans. We flew oh say,
Speaker 1: I never had a trailer or go. Can I think
Speaker 1: for sure that from Ohio to California to meet you.
Speaker 1: But for just a little story of oh say, Hira
Speaker 1: table talk. My name is Osa Oregon. I'm twenty one
Speaker 1: years old and I'm in Columbus, Ohio. I used the
Speaker 1: pronouns day, then there's and I identify as queer and
Speaker 1: non binary. I know you're doing a show about people
Speaker 1: we admire, so I want to tell you about the
Speaker 1: impact Janelle Money has had on my life. When I
Speaker 1: was eleven, my mom introduced me to Jenelle. She sent
Speaker 1: me a video for a song called Tyrote. In the video,
Speaker 1: she's wearing this iconic tailored, dapper black and white suit
Speaker 1: with this black bow tie, and she's singing about the
Speaker 1: importance of her own self confidence. I saw a proud
Speaker 1: black person wearing the clothing that I wanted to wear
Speaker 1: and having the confidence that I wanted to have. During
Speaker 1: my first year of college, I volunteered with GLAD as
Speaker 1: a campus ambassador. I wrote an article about Janelle and
Speaker 1: how her style in her creativity inspired me to be
Speaker 1: the confident person that I wanted to be. Janelle was
Speaker 1: blurring the lines between masculinity and femininity. I went to
Speaker 1: my high school prompt wearing a black and white suit,
Speaker 1: and I went with my partner. Had I not seen
Speaker 1: Janelle wearing the clothing that she wore in the stages
Speaker 1: that she was on, I might not have had the
Speaker 1: confidence to do the same. I am so grateful to
Speaker 1: live in a time where Jenelle exists and all of
Speaker 1: her excellence. I'm grateful that she's able to do what
Speaker 1: she's doing, and I'm grateful that I'm here to witness it.
Speaker 1: I cannot express how much I love Jenelle Monive, You're
Speaker 1: my hero. Oh my god, I am speechless. So Janelle
Speaker 1: and Miss Janet, we're going to be quiet, saying, I'll say,
Speaker 1: he's going to come on out of here. You don't
Speaker 1: know now, okay, Oh say come on out here and
