We cut our fingers and we smeared a little blood on this locket, close it up, and wear it around your neck. It’s a romantic gesture."

Angelina Jolie's advice to young women today

During a talk to Elle magazine (2017), Angelina Jolie offered her advice to young women today. 

She tells, "Your intelligence is everything. Your mind and what you fill yourself with—you know, the woman that spends her day shopping is going to be that woman. And the woman that spends her day reading and traveling and learning and talking to people is going to be that woman. And that's the woman you really want to be [the second one]. I think we have to encourage young women to know that, because they're getting fed a lot of the other. And then with that, they'll know. They'll know, and they'll feel it. They'll do the work because they'll become more aware of the world."

Angelina Jolie shared her experiences during her visit to Mykolaiv and Kherson, Ukraine

Angelina Jolie shared her experiences during her visit to Mykolaiv and Kherson, Ukraine.

She wrote on her Instagram, "I visited Mykolaiv and Kherson in Ukraine this week to meet families living on the frontline. The threat of drones was a constant, heavy presence. You hear a low hum in the sky. It’s become known locally as a ‘human safari’, with drones used to track, hunt and terrorize people, constantly. There was a moment when we had to pause and wait while a drone flew overhead. I was in protective gear, and for me, it was just a couple of days. The families here live with this every single day".

"They’ve moved their schools, clinics and daycare into reinforced basements, determined that life will go on. It was hard but inspiring to witness. Many people spoke to me about the psychological burden of living under continual threat — and the deeper fear of being forgotten by the world".
