There's no denying that Angelina Jolie has done some amazing humanitarian work over the years. The actress was named United Nations special envoy in 2012, and was given a Damehood by the queen for her services to UK foreign policy.
She’s visited war-torn countries, spoken at summits and not to mention had one of the most successful acting careers. In other words, Angelina is one of Hollywood’s busiest women.
Yet she’s still found time to take on her latest endeavour.
On 28th December, Angelina will guest edit BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, one of the BBC’s most popular current affairs programmes across all of its networks.

The show is one of the most politically influential on the radio today, and addresses hard topics from a wide range of different areas. Not surprisingly, however, Angelina has a few ideas of her own.
The 43-year-old actress will invite a series of guests - including refugees and survivors of conflict - to discuss the global refugee crisis and solutions to violence against women in war zones.
She also wants to tackle the refugee crisis, and generally shine a light on things she feels that Today’s seven million listeners need to hear, however tough they might be.
A spokesperson has said that Angelina is 'grateful for this opportunity to draw on the BBC’s global expertise and network to explore practical solutions to a number of pressing issues of our time.'
She will be joining a team which already boasts some pretty incredible women, from winner of the Women’s Prize for Fiction, Kamila Shamsie, to Chidera Eggurue, body image campaigner and owner of fashion blog, the Slumflower.
You can get involved with the debate by tuning in to BBC Radio 4’s Today programme on 28th December 2018.
Damn, that woman is inspiring.
