Social media really had an important part to play in your rise to prominence no doubt, along with your exceptional fashion sense and style gracing the covers of major magazines and the media. You are the epitome of grace, style, and are certain eye candy. Chocolate eye candy at that!
As I said in a previous post: I believe this film "12 Years a Slave," is one that needs to be seen by all members of the viewing public. This picture rubs a little raw with certain audiences on both sides of the equation.
Mainstream conservatives don't want to deal with the subject matter and some educated or "conscious" Blacks are anxious about the portrayal of Blacks always in less than flattering roles winning Oscars in Hollywood.
After the Oscar buzz is over I hope you get a comprehensive list of movie parts other than just slave and similar roles. I want to see you in other parts also casted in a hot romance or as the resourceful hot girl friend.
I want to see you in a plethora of expansive roles. I'm encouraged that you are also in a new movie coming up recently too called Non-Stop I saw in a trailer. You can view the trailer here.
If she gets typecast as the slave girl or demeaning roles consistently in Hollywood I'm gonna be pissed off towards the industry.
Message to Hollywood, don't typecast Lupita in one dimensional roles! She deserves more! Kudos to you Lupita a job well done!
Bio of Lupita Nyong'o
 |
| Lupita is Stunning in Bright Colored Dresses |
She is of Luo descent and is the second of six children. Her father was the former Kenyan Minister for Medical Services.
At the time of Lupita's birth, he was a visiting lecturer in political science at El Colegio de Mexico in Mexico City,and her family had been living in Mexico for three years. Nyong'o moved back to Kenya with her parents when she was less than one year old, when her father was appointed a professor at the University of Nairobi.
She grew up primarily in Kenya, and describes her upbringing as "middle class, suburban". At age sixteen, her parents sent her back to Mexico for seven months, to learn Spanish.
During those seven months, Nyong'o lived in Taxco, Mexico, and took classes at Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico's Learning Center for Foreigners. In 2013, her father was elected to represent Kisumu County in the Kenyan Senate.
Nyong'o's mother is currently the managing director of the Africa Cancer Foundation and her own communications company. Her cousin Tavia Nyong'o is a scholar and professor at New York University.
In 2012, her older cousin, Isis Nyong'o, was named one of Africa's most powerful women by Forbes magazine.
Her uncle, Aggrey Nyong'o, was a prominent Kenyan physician, killed in a road accident in 2002.
Nyong'o currently resides in Brooklyn, New York. She is fluent in English, Spanish, Swahili, and her native Luo. On February 27, 2014, at the Essence Black Women In Hollywood luncheon in Beverly Hills, Lupita gave a speech on black beauty.
Lupita talked about a letter she received from a young fan who stated she was unhappy with herself until she saw the actress on the cover of a magazine. In her speech Lupita talked about the insecurities she had about herself as a teenager; growing up as a dark skinned black girl, women that looked like her were barely portrayed in the media and when they were, they not deemed as being beautiful.
She states that, her views about herself changed when she saw South Sudanese supermodel Alek Wek become successful. I wish her great success in her career and at the Oscars voting tonight!
