Actress, entrepreneur and star of our #PoweredByWomen issue, Zendaya is all kinds of inspirational. Here we round up her top five quotes from her interview for GLAMOUR with her friend and female force, Yara Shahidi.
1“You know when you watch a show and you’re like, ‘That’s so good. I wish I’d made it?’ Why not? Why not make it?”
2“The most important thing I’ve learnt from my mom is selflessness.”
3“A lot of people who aren’t people of colour can’t understand what it’s like to not see yourself in mainstream media.”
4“As my social platforms grew, I realised that my voice was much more important than I had originally thought. I think if every young person understood the power of their voice, things would be a lot different.”
5“If people know your name, they should know it for a reason.”
6“There’s something to be said for the fact that literally everybody can hate my outfit, but if I feel good in it, I’m the only one that should matter.”
