star said, 'It feels like the world is waking up, and people are forcing a deeper reckoning within their societies. It is time to make changes in our laws and our institutions—listening to those who have been most affected and whose voices have been excluded.'
She also noted that work needs to be done both at home and abroad. 'But after almost two decades of international work, this pandemic and this moment in America has made me rethink the needs and suffering within my own country,' she revealed. 'I am focusing both globally and domestically; they are of course linked. There are more than 70 million people who have had to flee their homes worldwide because of war and persecution—and there is racism and discrimination in America.
During the interview, Jolie was also asked, 'What advice do you have for teaching children about issues surrounding race and racism?' She replied, 'To listen to those who are being oppressed and never assume to know'.
