Zendaya Called The Shots Back In Her Disney Days

Well, it looks like Zendaya has been calling the shots since she was a star on Disney Channel. In her interview with Vogue Magazine, she sat down and talked about what it was like working for the infamous corporation, and how it made her into the person that she is today. For her show, K.C. Undercover, she was bold enough to explain her demands and what she specifically needed on the show for her to sign on:

“I got in a room with the heads of Disney Channel,” Zendaya says, recounting a meeting that took place four years ago, when she was sixteen… First they would need to make her a producer. Next she objected to the show’s title, which at the time was Super Awesome Katy. “I was like, ‘The title is whack. That’s gonna change.’ ” She then rejected her character’s name (“Do I look like a Katy to you?”), and insisted that the show feature a family of color”.

Zendaya has always been a powerful icon of feminism and racial diversity, so it’s no surprise that she’s been able to hold her own at such a young age!
