The #MrsBikoWorldTour featuring @JanelleMonae at #AfricasOut. I had such a fan girl moment meeting her. I offered to rap the last verse of #Queen for this selfie and she was like OK so I started "Are we a lost generation of our people" and she was like no where's your camera girl. #WeHappyTrans #Trans100 #ChernoBiko #RedefiningRealness #GirlsLikeUs
