Janelle Monáe opened up about coming out as nonbinary during the April 20 episode of "Red Table Talk." Speaking to hosts Jada Pinkett-Smith, Willow Smith, and Adrienne Banfield-Norris, Monáe — who came out as pansexual in a 2018 Rolling Stone cover interview — candidly explained their journey with coming out to their family and the world.

"I'm nonbinary, so I just don't see myself as a woman solely," she said while promoting their new anthology of Afrofuturist fiction, "The Memory Librarian." "I feel all of my energy. I feel like God is so much bigger than the 'he' or the 'she,' and if I am from God, I'm everything. I will always stand with women; I will always stand with Black women; but I just see everything that I am beyond the binary. When I see people, I see your energy first. I don't see how you identify. I feel like that opens you up to fall in love with any beautiful spirit."
