Yara Shahidi Is Inspired By Other Young People Doing The Same Work She's Doing

Yara Shahidi is one of the many women honored by Glamour as their Women of the Year, and in her feature, is opening up about what inspires her own activism.

Simple: it’s you!

“I don’t think I’d be doing the work I’m doing if I wasn’t constantly inspired by the other young people doing this work, by the other young people doing work I didn’t even realize had to be done,” the 19-year-old actress shared with the magazine.

Yara added, “I feel like we constantly educate one another. Because we inherited a world in crisis, we enter this world inspired to make change.”

Her endgame goal is to “use the resources I have to actively engage other activists and help support them.”
