h how far this beauty has come from her initial
role in Columbiana. Amandla Stenberg has been
noted as a force to be reckoned with as a Gen Z baby.
The actress has been an activist for #BlackGirlMagic and
even a guest editor for Teen Vogue. Going above and
beyond on and off the set seems to be Stenberg’s knack
as she tackles the taboo topic of cultural appropriation
one hurdle at a time. Stenberg takes representation to
a new level by taking on projects such as her own and
always setting the bar when it comes to philanthropic
causes like No Kid Hungry and the Ubuntu Education
Fund, which nurtures children “from cradle to career”
in Port Elizabeth, South Africa. Stenberg’s latest role was
in Hunger Games when she played the character Rue.
The word in Hollywood is that Stenberg is now working
toward making her comic a television series. For now
NIOBE: She Is Life is expected to be released on Nov. 4
and follows the story of Niobe Ayutami, a young, black
warrior on her adventures to save the world.
