TRUE Africa

Awesome Amandla Stenberg, Malia Obama and Luka Sabbat named most influential teens

Kylie Jenner and Simone Biles were just some of the teens that made it onto TIME magazine’s list of the thirty most influential teenagers. Based on social-media power, activism, the coolness of their mum (yes, Sasha and Malia), these teens show the amazing diversity and inspirational power of young people today.

There were a few surprises: Camila Cabello from Fifth Harmony (yes, we thought she was older) and Luka Sabbat (yes, he’s even on TIME’s radar now) and some surprising omissions (bet Willow’s pissed).

Here are some of our favourites on the list.

NB. There are no Africans on the list… but if there was anyone under 20 who was influential in Africa, their parents would have beaten it out of them by now!
