Yara Shahidi Covers ELLE UK
Yara Shahidi is on the cover of ELLE UK! The young actress is on the cover of the magazine’s upcoming November issue.
In the issue, Yara talks her motivators in life, education, social media, fashion, life and so much more. Highlights can be found below.
On her motivators: “First and foremost, my parents. People like [Black Lives Matter co-founder] Patrisse Cullors, who I met at The Underground Museum when I was there to watch Angela Davis speak. I already know of them both previously, but actually seeing them speak made me dig deeper into Patrisse’s history of organising, which started at such a young age. Mentorship is extremely important and, like you say, a lot of it stems from peers within my own generation.”
On social media: “Social media takes everything and simplifies it in a way that’s really helpful, but can also be extremely harmful because you’re giving information with no context. You’re given bits of news or information about somebody without thinking of the bigger picture. I mean, it’s quite literally looking at the little picture!”
