Angelina Jolie is Now a YouTuber

Angelina Jolie can do it all. The actress, who is surely preparing for the press tour madness that will happen when Disney's Maleficent: Mistress of Evil releases this October, has taken on another role, as she just launched her own YouTube channel. Although her page has easily achieved over 6,000 subscribers, the star is being fairly discreet about this release, allowing fans to discover the new videos rather than suddenly also making Instagram and Twitter accounts to promote them.

To this end, Jolie is on-brand as ever with her low profile and humanitarian focus, so don't expect to see beauty tutorials or the daily routine of the actress with her six children. Instead, her first upload features 15 minutes of her speech at the annual General Assembly Ministerial Meeting. "Women and girls are still the biggest victims of war," she tells the audience in the video. "They are more than half of the refugees and the overwhelming majority of victims of rape and other sexual and gender violence."

Last Sunday, Jolie posted another talk, this time at The Hollywood Reporter's Women in Entertainment event in 2017. With these two videos up and the other information available on the channel, one can see the direction the actress plans to take her platform. Rather than suddenly departing from her private persona to begin influencing and vlogging, she is hoping the channel will help to highlight her activism and bring attention to important causes.

"After years of dedicated service to the UNHCR and refugee cause, Angelina Jolie was named Special Envoy in 2012," her channel's bio begins. "In her expanded role, Jolie focuses on major crises that result in massive population displacements, representing and defending the UNHCR and the High Commissioner at the diplomatic level...through this work, she has contributed to the vital process of finding solutions for people forced to flee their homes."

Here's to seeing what speeches the philanthropic talent chooses to share on her platform and remembering to be vocal about causes that matter.
