Just when you think that Angelina Jolie wasn't busy enough, she adds something else to her resume.
Time magazine announced Wednesday that Jolie is joining its ranks as a contributing editor.
The 44-year-old Academy Award winner will write each month on multiple topics, “focusing primarily on displacement, conflict and human rights,” Time said.
The humanitarian's first piece will be published today, on World Refugee Day, June 20.
“As we mark World Refugee Day on June 20, it is an illusion to think that any country can retreat behind its borders and simply hope the problem will go away. We need leadership and effective diplomacy,” Jolie expressed in a statement.
“We need to focus on long-term peace based on justice, rights and accountability to enable refugees to return home. This is not a soft approach. It is the harder course of action, but it is the only one that will make a difference. The distance between us and the refugees of the past is shorter than we think.”
Time cited Jolie's experience working with the UN Refugee Agency for 18 years, the last seven of which she has been the Special Envoy to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.
Jolie has carried out more than 60 field missions to countries including Colombia, Peru and Bangladesh, the magazine said in its statement.
The actress will be debuting Maleficent: Mistress of Evil later this year, as well as producing and voicing a character on the animated film The One and Only Ivan.
