Zendaya Speaks Out Against Injustice During Teen Choice Awards Speech

Zendaya is always one to speak her mind and let her voice be heard when necessary and she used her acceptance speech at the 2017 Teen Choice Awards to reach out to young people amid the events in Charlottesville this weekend.

The 20-year-old entertainer was presented with the Choice Summer Movie Actress award at the show on Sunday (August 13) in Los Angeles.

“With all the injustice and the hatred and everything that is happening not only in the world, but in our country right now, I need all you young people, I need all you guys to be educated, I need you to listen, I need you to pay attention,” Zendaya said.

“And I need you to go ahead and understand that you have a voice and it is OK to use it when you see something bad happening,” she added. “So make sure that you stay educated and that you do not let people tell you what you think you should feel. Because you are the leaders, you’re the future leaders of the world, you’re the future presidents, the future senators, and you guys are the ones who are gonna make this world better.”

Zendaya was one of the many stars who spoke out after the injustices in Virginia.
