WATCH: The beautiful, talented and queer Janelle Monáe is profiled on ‘CBS Sunday Morning’

Singer and actress Janelle Monáe talks with correspondent Tony Dokoupil about growing up in Kansas City and her ambition to become an entertainer; her mentor, Prince; and how she identifies her sexuality, which suffuses her new album, Dirty Computer. My favorite quote comes near the end of the piece when she says: ‘I think that it’s important for people to be proud of their identity. I am very proud to be a young, queer, black woman in America. I’m proud of who I am. I love myself.’
