Janelle Monáe experienced another dream come true when she stopped by the storied set of “Sesame Street” to teach monster and human alike about the power of persevering.
“I am so excited to be living one of my dreams — to be here on ‘Sesame Street,'” the sharply-dressed singer told Billboard. “I’m here because I am teaching everybody on ‘Sesame Street’ the importance and the power of ‘yet.’ Never, ever, ever give up because there’s so much power in ‘yet.'”
Billboard was on set as Monáe filmed for the legendary show’s 45th season, which debuts in September 2014. Her song, “The Power of Yet,” is described as the sort of empowering anthem – set to her brand of vibrant, modern soul – that both kindergarten kids and adults can appreciate.
Additionally, Monáe was celebrated as the Rising Star at Billboard’s 2013 Women in Music Awards ceremony last month. Check out the video below!
