Janelle Monae and Aja Naomi King serving their black magic beauty to Marie Claire magazine and what they said about climibing the Hollywood ladder and vagina power inside…

Marie Claire has Janelle Monae and Aja Naomi King on the cover.
 Janelle covers one of five covers for Marie Claire’s May 2017 issue. She said

"People have to start respecting the vagina. Until every man is fighting for our rights, we should consider stopping having sex. I love men. But evil men? I will not tolerate that. You don't deserve to be in my presence. If you're going to own this world and this is how you're going to rule this world, I am not going to contribute anymore until you change it. We have to realize our power and our magic. Because I am all about black-girl magic, even though I'm standing with all women. But this year? This year, I am so carefree black girl."

Aja Naomi King 32,is a household name starring in “How To Get Away With Murder,” starring opposite Viola Davis. The Yale grad starred in Birth of a Nation showing off her acting chops.

"Maybe I'm outdated in thinking this, but because I'm a young black woman and don't see very many being the lead in a film, I have this fear, Will I be working? When I first started in this industry, my goal was to be some best friend. The sidekick. I thought that would be an accomplishment. But seeing people like Viola and Tracee Ellis Ross and Gabrielle Union and Lupita [Nyong'o]—who was two classes behind me at Yale—I can hope for more."

 
Janelle and Aja's covers hit newsstands April 18th. Beautiful!
