Although the tale is fictional, with Zendaya pulling double duty as Cleo, historical tidbits about Shirley Chisholm, a black politician and cultural pioneer, are also included. In 1972, Chisholm was the first woman to run for president as a Democratic candidate. Also Read: Zendaya Rips Twitter Troll for Rape Joke:.
