Bullies made Zoe Saldana stronger

Zoe Saldana managed to take something positive from her experience with bullies.

“It’s made me stronger,” says Zoe. “I have an eight-year-old niece going through the same thing and I have been able to tell her what happened to me and how to deal with it.

“As a kid, if I got the crap kicked out of me, the one thing that they were not going to take was my dignity and my sense of self. So, I do believe that you have to defend yourself.”
