Yesterday was Black Women’s Equal Pay Day, and Normani Kordei, Yara Shahidi, and Zendaya all took to Twitter and Instagram to raise awareness about the important day.
July 31 was not randomly chosen to highlight the disparity between what white men earn and what black women earn. That date actually represents the number of days into July 2017 that a black woman must work to earn the same pay a white man made in 2016.
While all women statistically make less than men for the same job, the gap is even more startling when it comes to women of color.
Z wrote about the day on her app.

There’s been talk of a Hocus Pocus remake for years now, and we know that Bette Midler, who played witch Winnie, is out.
Twitter has some ideas, and we are really excited about them.
Fans across the social network had the best idea for the remake was to have Hidden Figures‘ Octavia Spencer, Taraji P. Henson and Janelle Monae in the roles of the Sanderson sisters — with Zendaya as Allison!
“So this image. Stay w me. Hocus Pocus remake w these 3. Chance the Rapper as Max, Quvenzhané Wallis as lil sis & Zendaya as Allison,” Twitter user asamantha shared over the weekend.
And she got a big reaction — a good one!
She also proposed that the movie could be re-worked, with Kendrick Lamar as the voice of Thackery Binx and take place in New Orleans so that it’s about Voodoo Queens.

Today in extremely relatable content, Zendaya shared a text exchange with her mother that will remind all of you of your own moms.
PHOTOS: Check out the latest pics of Zendaya.
Z‘s mom sent her daughter the link to an article based in research: “Study Shows The More Time You Spend With Your Mom, The Longer She’ll Live.”
“Wow mom…” the 20-year-old Spiderman: Homecoming star answered the text with the laughing emojis.
“Why is my mother like this???” she tweeted of the exchange.
Her fans are cracking up, mostly because the exchange is so relatable: subtle guilting through studies is something that all of our mothers would do.
Tom Holland and Zendaya are fueling romance rumors!
The 20-year-old actress and 21-year-old actor were seen in his Audi driving around Los Angeles on Monday (July 17). It’s important to note that Tom and Zendaya seemingly said the rumors weren’t true in a Twitter exchange.
In the car, Zendaya took to Snapchat to explain the story behind the car photos.
“So I’m rolling with this guy today and we have a nice paparazzi guy following us,” Zendaya said. “He’s following us. He’s been following us for like 20 [minutes],” Tom added.
“Like not even subtly,” Zendaya says. Tom continued, “This motherf–ker stopped on the freeway because we were trying to lose him!” See the pics below!
Zendaya and Tom currently star in Spider-Man: Homecoming, in theaters now. Here are some big spoilers about Zendaya‘s character if you want to know more!
See the photos of the rumored new couple in the car below…
Whether you’ve seen Spider-Man: Homecoming once, or twice, or even five times (guilty over here!), you might still be confused about the story behind Zendaya‘s character, Michelle.
You’ve heard all the other stories about Michelle, how she shares a last name with Vulture, and how she refers to herself as “MJ” in the film as well…so Marvel head Kevin Feige took time out to fully explain just who Michelle is.
One thing is for certain though — Michelle IS NOT, nor has she ever been, Mary Jane Watson.
“We never even looked at it as a big reveal necessarily but more of just a fun homage to his past adventures and his [Peter Parker's] past love,” he says. “She’s not Mary Jane Watson. She never was Mary Jane Watson.”
Michelle is just Michelle, and that’s perfect.
Kevin adds, “She was always this new high school character, Michelle, who we know there’s an ‘M’ in Michelle and an ‘M’ in Mary. [laughs] So we’re so clever and we thought, ‘Wouldn’t it be neat if her initials were MJ?’”
Zendaya and Tom Holland can’t stop laughing about the dating rumors going around right now.
After a report was posted about the two Spider-Man: Homecoming stars being in a relationship, Tom and Zendaya both laughed off the rumors on social media.
“Wait wait…my favorite is when it says we go on vacations together HA!” Zendaya poked fun at them all. “I haven’t been on a vacation in years!”
Tom added later, “Does the press tour count.”
Looks like this report is COMPLETELY FALSE!
UPDATE: Both stars have confirmed that the below report is NOT true. Read what they said now!
Zendaya and Tom Holland are officially an item!
According to a report (via People), the two Spider-Man: Homecoming stars are dating.
“They started seeing each other while they were filming Spider-Man,” one source told the mag. “They’ve been super careful to keep it private and out of the public eye but they’ve gone on vacations with each other and try and spend as much time as possible with one another.”
We all can see Zendaya and Tom‘s chemistry together — and she is already styling him.
Another source shared, “They’re both really ambitious and they challenge each other — but, most importantly, they make each other crack up. They seem to have a really similar sense of humor and love joking around together. They have great banter back and forth.”
TELL JJJ: What do you think of this coupling — YAY or NAY?
