Zendaya is portraying this iconic woman in her new movie

Zendaya is taking on yet another amazing movie role!

According to Variety, Zendaya is set to star in A White Lie as Anita Hemmings. The movie is an adaption of The Gilded Years by Karin Tanabe which told the true story of Anita, an African-American woman whose skin tone was so light that she passed as white and attended Vassar College (a highly-selective and formerly all-female university in New York) in the 1890s, becoming the first African American woman to graduate from the school.

Not only is the The Greatest Showman and Spider-Man: Homecoming actress starring in the movie, she's also producing it alongside Reese Witherspoon's Hello Sunshine, a media company focused on telling compelling stories about women. We can wait to see Zendaya portray this intelligent and brave woman. You go, Z!
