Lupita Nyong'o

Everyone would admit Lupita Nyong'o is more or less the African Kim Kardashian, she's just getting more popular than you can ever imagine just from a singular act in a SINGLE MOVIE. What does this tells you?! ,in life do whatever you find yourself doing very well, add all the passion, interest and zeal and you never know you may be the next Ben Carson, Leornado da Vinci or even David Beckham e.t.c.

The hollywood star, Lupita Nyong'o gave a very moving and incredible speech on beauty in the days leading up to the Academy Awards. At a luncheon for Black Womem in Hollywood hosted by Essence Magazine, Lupita Nyong'o spoke of her struggles with low-esteem and her quest to finding and understanding true beauty.

According to Lupita Nyong'o's speech on black beauty and low-esteem.....

"I could never have guessed that my first job out of school would be so powerful in and of itself. I remember a time when I too felt un-beautiful. I got teased and taunted about my night-shaded skin. My one prayer to god, the miracle worker, was that I would wake up lighter skinned," Nyong'o told the audience, which included her mother. Nyong'o said that model Alek Wek had a similar effect on her when she was young. But that she had also realized that true beauty had nothing to do with fashion trends, or even, really, external beauty. You cannot, she said, rely on beauty to sustain you.
"What actually sustains us - what is fundamentally beautiful - is compassion, for yourself and for those around you. That kind of beauty inflames the heart and enchants the soul."
Nyong'o finished with this, and left us soaring,
"I hope that my presence on your screens and in magazines will lead you, young girl, on a similar journey. That you will feel the validation of your external beauty, but also get to the deeper business of being beautiful inside. There is no shade in that beauty."
