The two stars are part of the watch brand’s Spotlight Squad, which is Breitling’s initiative to connect with more women.

Theron also echoed this sentiment, stating she’s drawn to initiatives that promote female empowerment and diversity.

“Being born in South Africa and coming from a place with so much turmoil, it’s kind of like in my bones to fight injustices,” she explained. “There is a way to live your life in a way that your actions are putting forth what you believe verbally, and I have always believed that we need more representation. Whenever I can be a part of something like that, that’s a good message to send out there.

“We’re working with a two-prong approach in advocacy and getting misinformation deleted in communities where we know it’s prevalent and also supporting grassroots organizations who have access to vaccines,” Theron said. “That’s been a realty big program especially on the continent of Africa. I think we’re at less than six percent of Africans have been vaccinated.

Copeland, who made history in 2015 when she became the first Black woman to serve as a principal ballerina at the American Ballet Theatre, talked about her work further promoting diversity and inclusion in the dance world. The ballerina released her latest book, “Black Ballerinas: My Journey to Our Legacy,” earlier this month and spoke about the impact it’s made.

“It’s reaching more than what it seems like with the title, ‘Black Ballerinas,’” she said. “It’s not just for Black girls, but it’s really showing the power behind when you really put in the work and do the research to learn about how you fit into a larger picture. That’s been my experience as a Black dancer, like how do I fit into this bigger world and how can I be a part of it and make it better.
