Malala Yousafzai shared a powerful message to women around the world: “It’s your right to choose to decide what you wear. It’s none of the government’s or anyone else’s business,” she said on the red carpet of Variety’s Power of Women event. “We need to ensure that we create a society where women can choose for themselves.” Through her production company Extracurricular, Yousafzai is eager to create content that spotlights the pressing issues women face, saying, “I think we need to hear more stories of amazing women around the world. We need to open our mind to hearing about what’s happening in different corners of the world and ensure that we have a more diverse perspective, and not limit ourselves in thinking.” Although the activist is determined to help address Hollywood’s lack of representation, she also enjoys consuming the culture on occasion. Her latest TV obsession: “Stranger Things.” “I absolutely love [‘Stranger Things’], though it is getting a bit scary in Season 4,” Yousafzai said. “Vecna has been causing me some nightmares, but I can’t wait for the last season.”
