Jolie has been showing up all over Instagram recently, joining the social media platform herself in August in order to promote humanitarian causes close to her heart. Jolie, who has a long history of working with philanthropic organizations, made her debut with a heartfelt post titled “Letter From An Afghan Girl.” Jolie decided to use her social media platform — she gained 2.3 million followers in a matter of hours — to speak out about the humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan after the withdrawal of American troops.
“This is a letter I was sent from a teenage girl in Afghanistan,” Jolie wrote. “Right now, the people of Afghanistan are losing their ability to communicate on social media and to express themselves freely. So I’ve come on Instagram to share their stories and the voices of those across the globe who are fighting for their basic human rights.” Here’s hoping that Jolie and Hayek reunite during the upcoming Eternals press tour for some more charming social media content.
