Emma Watson challenges people to ‘make a one-degree shift’
The actress said 2018 is a turning point after a year dominated by ‘an alarming newsfeed’.
Emma Watson has urged fans to “make a one-degree shift” in their lives, saying small changes can make a big difference.
The actress and feminist, 27, penned a letter to readers in the March issue of Vogue Australia, which she guest edited.
She wrote: “Silenced voices are becoming amplified and media outlets are shining a spotlight on the people and groups challenging for change. The pages to follow in this issue, Designing The Future, is a part of that change.
“The word ‘change’ can be intimidating, riddled with expectation of outcomes and fear of failure.
“So I want to propose something to you: when steering a boat, a captain can shift the wheel one degree and it drastically changes the course of the boat.
“I would like to challenge you, after reading this issue, to make a one-degree shift, because a small change can make a huge difference.”
The Harry Potter star thanked Vogue for giving her the platform, and collaborators “for sharing your voice and your self”.
She continued: “Lastly, thank you to anyone picking up this issue and reading it. You are the biggest piece to the puzzle of our global wellbeing. Join me in a one-degree shift!”
The actress recently made a £1 million donation to a new fund that will help set up a framework and provide support for those affected by sexual harassment.
