Winston Duke, best known for his role as M’Baku in the hit film Black Panther, is an avowed activist and feminist.

On Wednesday, he joined Queen Rania Al-Abdullah of Jordan and award-winning actor Anne Hathaway at an event organised by UN Women, on the side-lines of High-Level week at UN Headquarters in New York.

The HeForShe IMPACT Summit unveiled ground-breaking solutions to achieve gender parity in the world, and emphasised the importance of men joining the fight for women’s equality.

When Mr. Duke came into the VIP Social Media Studio to speak to Conor Lennon from UN News, he revealed how the women in his life have inspired him.
