‘Stranger Things’ Millie Bobby Brown Named UNICEF’s Youngest Goodwill Ambassador
On Tuesday, Stranger Things actress Millie Bobbie Brown was named the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund’s youngest-ever Goodwill Ambassador, reported CNBC.
The Emmy-nominated actress is a social activist and enjoys promoting causes important to her when she isn’t starring in the three-season hit series. The 14-year-old was recognized by UNICEF for her work on World Children’s Day.
After accepting her new title at the U.N. headquarters in New York, Millie gave a speech during a press conference.
“Given UNICEF’s global role as the world’s leading voice for children and young people, to be the youngest-ever Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF is more than an honor. It’s a powerful privilege. I will speak out for the millions of children and young people whose voices have been silenced for far too long.”
