As a Grammy-nominated singer, Monae enter the public I threw her quirky and enigmatic talent, but she’s been able to prove herself in films such as moonlight and hidden figures.
Information on the role Monae will be playing in the film has not been shared, but given her musical and acting abilities thus far, her performance will most likely be out of this world.
Harriet’s release date hasn’t been announced, yet we can’t wait for this remarkable story to hit theaters.
