Janelle Monáe took the stage to accept the 2023 SeeHer award during Sunday's CriticsChoiceAwards.
Hudson finished her speech by concluding,"But perhaps the true achievement lies in what Janelle has done for others through her activism on behalf of women, LGBTQ+ communities and race equality. She was recently honored as the Suicide Prevention Advocate of the Year by The Trevor Project. She is the co-chair of When We All Vote and spearheads the Fem The Future initiative. She is an advocate, an ally, a warrior.
"I'm Janelle Monáe and my pronouns are she, her, they, them," she began."But to her, a mother figure like my character Teresa, to an abandoned LGBTQIA+ person, because the family they were born into won't accept them, I see you. To her, working in STEM like Mary Jackson, whose brilliant mind continues to advance the technology of this world that you are still fighting for equal pay, I see you.
Monaé added:"This is a deeply personal choice for me because I grew up to working-class parents. My mother was a janitor, my father was a trash man, and my grandmother was a sharecropper in Aberdeen, MS. It's personal because I am nonbinary. I am queer and my identity influences my decisions and my work.
