#FreshJuice: #GirlPower Amandla Stenberg Slays for Dazed Mag
Amandla Stenberg is Dazed Magazine’s September Cover Girl
“I want to make things that have an impact on how we look at the world. I know it’s a tall glass to fill, but it’s a glass that really does need to be filled, as an African American woman” – Amandla Stenberg
Amandla Stenberg slays incredibly in Dazed magazine’s September issue. The ferocious teenager has been making news, not because she’s beautiful, even though she is, but because she comes off unafraid to speak up on issues that surround her.
The photo shoot comes off just as powerful as her mind and heart consistently reflect, and Amandla uses her influence to always say something.
“Yet Stenberg cuts through the noise. Using social platforms like Tumblr and Twitter, she’s always set her own agenda in terms of what’s important and newsworthy, regardless of what mainstream media is championing. “I think people discredit teenagers and how wise they can be,” says Stenberg. “Sometimes I meet teenagers who are much wiser than many adults I’ve met, because they haven’t let any insecurities or doubts about themselves get in the way of their thoughts.”
