Loud. Shameless. Aggressively fun. Snarled brings you 5 videos a week from creative women. We’re not exclusive, though. If you like us, we like you.
--- At the age of four, Stenberg started doing catalog modeling shoots for Disney. She has appeared in commercials for clients such as Boeing.[7][8] In 2011, she appeared in her first feature film, Colombiana, as a younger version of Zoe Saldana's character.[9] Her career breakthrough came when she was cast as Rue in the 2012 film The Hunger Games.[10] She voiced Bia in the 2014 animated film Rio 2.[11] Stenberg had a recurring role on season one of Sleepy Hollow. In the summer of 2015, she played series regular Halle Foster on Mr. Robinson.
In 2013, Stenberg began performing on the violin and singing harmonies at LA venues with singer/songwriter Zander Hawley. The folk-rock duo known as Honeywater released their first EP in August 2015.
The British publication Dazed magazine named Stenberg "one of the most incendiary voices of her generation" when it featured her on its Autumn 2015 cover.[12] Stenberg has spoken publicly on social media about cultural appropriation, including her video "Don't Cash Crop My Cornrows" and admonishing Kylie Jenner for her hairstyle.[13]
Stenberg is the co-author, with Stranger Comics' Sebastian Jones, of the comic book "Niobe: She is Life", the first issue of which was published in November 2015.[14]
