Never be anyone’s doormat.

One incredible detail about Zendaya’s lifestyle is that she’s never been the type of person who wouldn’t defend herself against haters or people who don’t have her best interests at heart.

Glowing up like Zendaya means it’s your time to start standing up for yourself and speaking up when appropriate moments call for it.

Who could forget the time Zendaya clapped back against Giuliana Rancic for a racist comment?

Back in 2015, Zendaya appeared at the Oscars with a dreadlocked hairstyle—and Giuliana had nothing but negative things to say about it.

She claimed that the KC Undercover actress must smell of “patchouli” or “weed.” That stereotype directly tears down Black people and the entire African-American community.

Zendaya posted on Instagram to clap back in the classiest way ever. She wrote, “There is a fine line between what is funny and disrespectful. Someone said something about my hair at the Oscars that left me in awe. Not because I was relishing in rave outfit reviews, but because I was hit with ignorant slurs and pure disrespect.”

Giuliana later took to Twitter to apologize publicly, as she should have.

Zendaya also clapped back against Euphoria creator Sam Levinson for hinting that she’s the reason Season 3 has been so heavily delayed.

She wasn’t about to just sit back and take it.

When asked about her busy schedule being blamed for the delay, she told Vanity Fair, “I’ve actually been available. I’ve been waiting. I haven’t been on set in nearly two years.”

Zendaya might have other projects she’s working on, but it sounds like she was always willing to make herself available for Euphoria Season 3.

Instead of taking the blame without any pushback, she spoke up for herself.

And that’s exactly what everyone can do in order to glow up and get on her level.

Defend yourself when someone says something wrong, don’t take the blame for things that aren’t your fault, and clap back if necessary.
