It’s almost hard to believe Zendaya has never starred on the front page of Essence before, but at last, her day has finally come!
The glossy unveiled the 19-year-old’s fierce cover for their August issue on Monday, and she looks absolutely stunning in front of the beautiful Rio de Janeiro, Brazil backdrop!
Though it’s inside the magazine where Z shares her words of wisdom, including why she spoke up after Giuliana Rancic famously made an offensive and controversial comment about her dreadlocks.

Zendaya explained:
“When I talk to people about that, this is not new. It’s not something I just started doing. I just did it in public and more people saw it than usual. I don’t remember when I didn’t do it, to be completely honest. I think that’s just the way I was raised, or the way my parents just taught me to be├óΓé¼┬ª”
Continuing on the same vein, the Disney starlet also expressed just why it’s so important for her use her voice. Sharing what it’s like to be a role model, she dished:
“You’ve got to realize those Twitter followers, those kids who watch you, that’s technically power. So, to me, I have a responsibility or a duty to the people who watch me to promote positive things, or to show them positive things, or to enlighten them├óΓé¼┬ª”
As we’ve seen from her feed, the young star isn’t taking her responsibility lightly.
