Amandla Stenberg

Amandla Stenberg, an American actress, has always been recognized for her scene-stealing parts in Hollywood. The star has used her rising reputation over the years to speak out on topics such as racism, sexuality, and feminism. Teen Vogue met Amandla Stenberg in 2016 to discuss feminist movements and representation, after she received the title of Most Influent Teens in both 2015 and 2016.

The feminist icon has told Teen Vogue reporters, "I've always identified as a feminist, but I never knew where I fit in because I never saw myself represented."

"As I began to examine my gender identification, I was uncertain as to how I could retain the label of feminist while adhering to the gender dichotomy. I believed that being a feminist meant being a proud woman. Then I realized I could be proud of the women without identifying as one. This is the future of feminism, as more individuals are rejecting the dichotomy." Amandla Stenberg said.
