When you're a celebrity, rubbing shoulders with the rich and famous is par for the course — but Shahidi has gotten some endorsements that would wow any celeb. Former first lady Michelle Obama was so impressed with her that she wrote her a letter of recommendation to Harvard; Shahidi was accepted. Oprah is also a fan of the young activist, and thinks that she could become president one day.
Shahidi hasn't ruled out a political career, but she isn't sure that she wants to end up in the White House. "I definitely want to be in like, a politics-adjacent kind of position," she told ET. "I do want to be in a place in which I can implement that level of change — president, I don't quite know. I always think about how strange it'll be that they'll be going back through my Instagram that I had when I was 12. So that's a little eerie, but I definitely want to be [in Washington] D.C., yeah," Shahidi added.
Whether or not she does make a run for president one day, one thing that's certain is that she'll have a lot of people supporting her no matter what she does.
