Janelle Monae – Hidden Figures
Out in theaters now, Janelle Monae stars as Mary Jackson in the film, ‘Hidden Figures’. The movie tells the story of three African-American women who provide NASA with important mathematical data. Their work would help launch astronaut John Glenn into orbit during the Space Race. Janelle talks about what the film means to her. “I hope people will look at these character I’m playing as the new superheroes…We do parades for astronauts, but we don’t do them for people behind the scenes. ‘Hidden Figures’ is in a sense, a parade for them.”
