Zendaya has admitted it's a ''heavy responsibility'' being a young black woman in Hollywood and said she intends to use her platform to do ''a lot of good''.
The 23-year-old Greatest Showman actress explained how she feels ''now more than ever'' that she has an ''obligation'' to ensure she is ''aware'' and sending the right message on her social media platforms.
''I have a heavy responsibility on my shoulders, but I'm appreciative ... because with that there's a lot of good that I can do and I know who is watching," she told The Hollywood Reporter.
''Now more than ever, specifically with Black Lives Matter and everything, I feel an obligation to make sure that I'm aware and putting out the right things and in line with organisers and people who are on the ground.''
Zendaya also revealed that she ''constantly'' fears making mistakes, adding: ''It's a constant thing.
''Being a young Disney actor, that's one level, being a young Black woman is one level, and then being very hard on myself is another level. It's also just a personal fear.''
