Zendaya’s active role was first noticed in 2013, when she published an advice book for tween girls. She said that the idea of the book was to be a guide for girls regarding the relationship of a growing child with other people. “I hope this book will help girls through the tougher parts of the tween years and help them appreciate the fun parts.”
But Zendaya became a role model for young people not only thanks to her book. She supports the ideas of representation and inclusivity in popular culture.
Back in 2015, Zendaya gave a thoughtful response to a bad comment about her stunning look at the Oscars. Zendaya called the Fashion Police’s comment on her bad hair offensive and incorrect. The actress, who was just 19 years old, didn’t give in to her emotions, but set an example of how to discuss things in public and not give anyone a chance to show intolerance.
Zendaya often talks about the problem of inequality in Hollywood and carries a heavy responsibility of a young black actress. In an interview, the actress says she doesn’t limit herself into playing only characters written for a certain race. Despite being politically active, she doesn’t call herself an activist, but “just a person who has a heart and wants to do the right thing.”
