Zendaya Will Receive the SeeHer Award at the 26th Annual Critics Choice Awards

Zendaya is being recognized for her efforts towards empowering women at the 26th Annual Critics’ Choice Awards next month and we could not be more excited about it.

The Malcolm & Marie star and “Best Actress” nominee will be receiving the fifth annual SeeHer Award at this year’s ceremony, which will be presented to her by her co-star John David Washington. 

“We are so proud to be a part of the Critics Choice Awards, and celebrating our fifth SeeHer Award,” said Nadine Karp McHugh, President, SeeHer. “We are delighted to be presenting the award to Zendaya, who is such a strong representation of what it means to be a woman in 2021. One of the busiest rising stars in Hollywood – with a generation of Disney Channel fans, Marvel devotees and ‘Euphoria’ evangelists – she is a role model and leading voice of her generation. From being the youngest actress to win an Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series to using her platform to advocate for Black women in Hollywood, she is showing the next generation that you are never too young to use your voice to make a difference. Inspiring girls everywhere to see themselves in their full potential, Zendaya represents everything SeeHer is.”

The SeeHer Award is a huge honor, as it recognizes a woman who embodies the values set forth by the SeeHer movement, to push boundaries, defy stereotypes and acknowledge the importance of authentic portrayals of women across the entertainment landscape. The Emmy Award-winning actress joins a list of previous recipients including Kristen Bell, Viola Davis, Claire Foy, and Gal Gadot.

Led by the Association of National Advertisers (ANA), SeeHer is a collective of leading marketers, media organizations and industry influencers committed to creating advertising and media content that portrays women and girls as they truly are.

Hosted by Taye Diggs, make sure to tune in to the 26th Annual Critics Choice Awards when it airs on Sunday, March 7th @ 7PM ET/PT on The CW.
