Rosario Dawson’s been busy—on-screen and off. Professionally, her career jumped off with Sesame Street. Years later, she starred in Kids, along with several other independent films, however her talent was solidified via roles in movies such as Men in Black II, Josie and the Pussycats, Seven Pounds, and Unstoppable. She has a knack for voice overs, serving as the voice behind DC Comics’ animated Wonder Woman and Disney+’s Ahsoka Tano in Star Wars: Ahsoka earlier this year.
Dawson’s on-screen talent, while impressive, isn’t a full picture of her impact. She’s established herself as a tremendous activist across political, environmental, and social causes, donating her time and voice to organizations such as Global Cool, Friends and Families of Lesbians and Gays, Doctors Without Boarders, and Save the Children. Most notably, however, is her work with the Lower East Side Girls Club, which recently went under renovation in partnership with Samsung.
