The Most Inspiring Reasons to Love Emma Watson ...

By now, I'm sure you've heard about Emma's incredibly moving UN speech for gender equality. If you haven't, have you been living under a rock?! You need to go watch that, NOW. With that speech, she inspired so many people to join the movement and raised the important question, "If not me, who? If not now, when?" So many celebrities have voiced their support and you can do the same by joining the movement on heforshe.org. This is just one of many reasons to love Emma Watson.

Emma's been making the world a better place for years! Before joining the UN, she was the face of 'People Tree' (a fair trade clothing company in the UK) and toured Bangladesh and Zambia to meet with garment factory workers and promote girls’ education. I love that Emma uses her voice to support positive things in this world!

Isn't it the best to be around people who are passionate? Honestly, I think people are the prettiest when they're talking about something they love. When Emma accepted her “Trailblazer Award” at the MTV Movie Awards in 2013, she had a very powerful message to tell all the young people who were watching. She said, "If you truly pour your heart into what you believe in, even if makes you vulnerable, amazing things can and will happen." Such wise words.

How Emma had the time to earn an Ivy League diploma is beyond me. This girl can truly do it all! She graduated from Brown University with a degree in English literature, proving that 'smart' is indeed the new 'sexy.'

Even though she was a household name before she was even a teenager, Emma's never let the fame get to her head. She's one of Hollywood's sweetest and most genuine actors. Back in 2012, Emma introduced herself as Hermione Granger to a five-year-old boy in a Harry Potter costume! "Are you Harry Potter? That's great because I'm Hermione Granger and we're best of friends," she said. AW!

Emma knows that she has young girls looking up to her and she takes that responsibility very seriously. She's always encouraging girls to speak their minds and know their worth. “I feel like young girls are told that they have to be a princess and fragile. It’s b***s***. I identify much more with being a warrior—a fighter,” she’s said. “If I was going to be a princess, I’d be a warrior princess. Definitely.”

Emma's all about surrounding herself with positive and ambitious people. In fact, at the Dior show at Paris Fashion Week, Emma was spotted hanging out with another powerful woman, Jennifer Lawrence. They'd be such cute best friends, right?! As for her style, I can never get enough of Emma's elegant and sexy-but-still-age-appropriate style.

Well, there you have it. These are just seven out of many awesome and inspiring reasons to love Emma Watson. I think so many girls are so lucky to have her as their role model! What do you love most about her?
