Janelle Monáe: We Should Thank Our Exes

What was said

""I've also been in polyamorous relationships as well and I, you know, know what it's like to be with multiple partners.""

Monáe says she has experience of polyamory and argues that making it work depends on direct communication about jealousy, time and boundaries. She later describes her first polyamorous relationship as emerging from an existing partnership, where a third person was attracted to both her and her partner and “we just made it work.”
