In her early teens, Zendaya made her debut as a Disney Channel star. She later found her recognition for playing MJ in the Spider-Man series. But acting as Rue in Euphoria is what finally established her as a significant talent. Winning an Emmy when she was only 24 years old made Zendaya one of the youngest and most influential stars in Hollywood. Alongside acting, she is also a fashion icon and advocate for social justice, breaking all the barriers for women of color in the industry.
