A clip of Zendaya sharing her feelings on inclusion was shared on Twitter. She said, \u201cAs a black woman, as a light-skinned black woman, it\u2019s important that I say, \u2018Listen, I\u2019m using my privilege and my platform to show you how much beauty there is in the African-American community.’\u201d<\/p>\n
She continued, \u201cI am Hollywood\u2019s, I guess you could say, acceptable version of a black girl, and that has to change. We\u2019re vastly too beautiful and too interesting for me to just be the only representation of that.\u201d<\/p>\n
You hear the audience applauding and cheering on Zendaya\u2019s candour, which clearly illuminates the underlying issue with the choice of black women commonly cast in television roles and other opportunities.<\/p>\n
