Billy Porter releases his new album The Black Mona Lisa, an often autobiographical collection of songs written on Porter's own terms. As the artist says, "Everybody told me that my queerness would be my liability. And it was four decades. Now it's actually my superpower."
The album finds Porter returning to music after a wildly successful multi-hyphenate career that has garnered him a Grammy, a few Tonys, and the honour of being the first openly gay Black man to win an Emmy as lead actor (for FX's Pose).
"The world has changed. The change has already happened. That's what I try to focus on in my work, because art can heal the traumas that we endure. And I want to be a part of the healing."
- Billy Porter
