Before Janelle Monae enchanted the sold-out crowd at The Vic Monday night, the R&B/soul stunner stopped by a Chicago high school to dish out some sage life advice.

“Find people who help keep you balanced and give you guidance and advice," Monae told students at Westinghouse College Prep in East Garfield Park. "Have a support system, because life’s not always going to be what you want or expect.”
