- Rosario Dawson just flashed her toned abs while attending the Inaugural Fifteen Percent Pledge Benefit Gala.

- To stay fit, Rosario is big into walking and eats a mostly vegan-based diet.
Rosario Dawson's dress at the Inaugural Fifteen Percent Pledge Benefit Gala has a truly unique backstory. The garment, which was made from recycled cotton, was created by multiple communities in Ghana and Burkina Faso to draw symbolism between the freedom blankets in America and West Africa. And the actress, 42, made a statement that not only raised awareness for the pledge but also its sustainable efforts. To complete the look, Rosario paired the colorful look with a straw hat and a neon green purse.
In case you didn't know, the pledge asks major retailers and corporations to create sustainable and supportive environments for Black-owned businesses to thrive, according to Fifteen Percent Pledge. Their site states that "Black people make up 15% of the US population. So, we asked businesses to dedicate 15% of their shelf space to Black-owned brands."
It took a lot of hard work to create Rosario's outfit, so feel free to read all the details in the post below:
Rosario looks stunning. And if you're curious about her fitness regimen, you're in luck. While many people like to get a sweat in at the gym, Rosario has been candid about not being the biggest fan of extreme physical exertion. Instead, she spends a lot of her time in nature. "I'm not a big workout-y person...but as a born-and-raised New Yorker, I'll walk 100 blocks and not even think about it," she told EatingWell. "I love sleeping outdoors. I love camping and hiking. I'm big into views." And when she's not outdoors, she's practicing Kung Fu and prefers light cardio workouts over weight training, per Hola.
Rosario also eats a mostly vegan diet. In a 2019 interview with People she said, "I’m mostly vegan and raw these days for my health and peace of mind. I rest better, I feel better, with less inflammation and more flexibility. I feel full without feeling uncomfortable or tired afterward. I love the energy.”
For breakfast, Rosario told Women's Health that she'll reach for a bowl of overnight oats. Throughout the rest of the day, she'll eat nutritious foods such as yams, spinach, potatoes, and vegetable stew. She also eats fish, which Rosario says is "good for your mitochondria."
Rosario knows that mental health is just as important as physical health. She told WH, “It’s only been in recent years where I’m like, ‘Let me get a massage.’ It’s actually necessary. If I don’t prioritize mindfulness, I am not going to be there for everybody in the way I need to be.”
Preach, girl.
