sending a clear message to black women. Beauty comes from within your natural self. Even this exquisite beauty would look ordinary with a weave or perm.
It's sad that Hollywood doesn't give diverse roles to black actresses with the exception of Halle Berry. I think this girl is more talented than most white actresses and definitely more than Halle Berry and I hope she gets more roles.
She sounds absolutely as beautiful as she looks. My 9 month old son is playing around on the floor and smiling every time he happens to look up and see her.
Wonderful interview. Lupita was, as always, both humble and gracious. Personally, I thought the interviewer did a fantastic job and looks lovely. We celebrate Lupita's choice to wear her hair naturally, rightfully so. But, there's no reason to slam the interviewer's choice to wear a weave. Both ladies seem like lovely people and should both be acknowledged for doing wonderful jobs in their respective fields ... Representing Kenyans and women of color wonderfully in the process.
Happy Birthday Lupita Nyong's. UR beautiful. I love Star Wars Episode 7 The Force Awakens, Episode 8 The Last Jedi & Episode 9 The Rise of Skywalker. I love all Star Wars movies. All of them r my first favorite movie. All of them. Kids love action. I seen episode 1, 2 and 3 when I was a kid. Good times. UR amazing legend, Lupita. May the Peace be with u Maz Kanata. From Harlingen Texas. March 1, 1983 March 1, 2023 through March 1, 3023
Why must we pick holes in everything? You don't have to be a Kenyan to like or appreciate her work. she is phenomenal. Look at the bigger picture and you shall see the positive energy.
I really enjoyed Shuga so it was a surprise when I put her name in Google to find she had made 12 years a slave.I find her stunningly beautiful & love her hair.I hope she goes on to make lots more great films.
OMG that was me too..lol. I had watched SHUGA two years ago and she left an impression in my mind and i wanted to know her name..next thing i know, after an intense Google search, i saw "Kenyan actor to play along Brad Pitt" lol....only to find out it was Lupita the same girl from Shuga. I was so happy lol...She is such a great actor.
Talking about Africa, I like your phrase, 'I miss the smell of rain when it falls on the red soil', that is, when it falls on hot sun baked soil of course. Oh, how I miss that too, having been away from Africa for 11 continuous years!
simbasugu some weaves are pretty though!! not every woman can pull out that nice look in a shaved head, so the weaves do it for them. Also, some women suffer from hair loss!!! and the weave is the only way out....
I wish Nigeria and other countries in the world could have movie industries that could really compete with Hollywood so Nyong'o could play a role in a Nigerian movie instead in another American one.
Hata mimi nataka kuku jaber, jaber!!! From lake Victoria to dusty foot land gunning for you. I am also happy to see mzee teaching once again he belong there!
She has said herself she is Mexi-Kenyan. She can be proud of both. You weirdos need to get over it, at the end of the day, she's beautiful, talented and human!
Is it me or did anyone pick up on the back handed way the interveiwr asked about her hair? Why the fuck would she ask her about her hair? What the fuck is she suppose to do put on a wig like you? I love her natural (I hope she never changes her natural look.)
kenyan celebs really got swagg, why cant she just say shukrani kwa kutazama citizen tv, but again she 's a hollywood star so she probably might have forgotten swahili
+CattleRustler Rustler she spoke swahili in shuga duhhhh do your research first she's just being shady every other African actor embraces and celebrates their culture
TRUE SOUTHERN CAMEROONS: I forgot to tell you that you are amazing. It is so obvious I did not think I need to say it. But since I am telling you to do something that you may otherwise not really need to do. I do not want you to think I am judging you in any way. I just felt the need to tell you, so that you can help save Africa. It was said that since January of this year, at least 800 people have died in the Mediterenian sea.
Please am HENRY phanton kindly requesting for the connection with Rupita i started introducing action and horror movies here in Kenya last year and some trailer are here in youtube ,i beg for more ideas from her please.
wakawo mos nya seme.....why are some people getting their knickers in a twist that lupita cant say a swahili word?,come one people!,she said she speaks swahili like a luo...and she just said a luo word "amosou",(greetings) and it just sounded so pure and fine.lupita acted in a kenyan urban movie where "sheng'(swahili and english combination) was severally used,of course she can speak swahili,what is the fuss now?,get over yourselves.
I wanted to disagree with you then I realised Luo is actually bigger than Kenya. We have Luos in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and Sudan so that might validate your statement :-)
Grace Macharia I truly agree with you. She slyly & intentionally disassociates herself with being kenyan. I don't want to judge her because she's intelligent & is most probably not of the "African inferiority" mindset. However,she seems more of her Mexican heritage as opposed to kenyan heritage
If she was born in China, would that make her Chinese? Where you are born does not make you that nationality, unless you look like the people there, and of mixed ancestry. You are who you look like, and she is African born in Mexico, like a Mexican born in Africa.
What is difficult to understand, heidi klum was born in germany, that makes her german.her parents were germans makes german geneticaly and By birth. Lupita was born in mexico mexican, parents kenyan. That makes mexican By birth and geneticaly kenyan. Just because you dont understand the laws of foreign countries doesnt mean that she is lying. And she explained it realy well.
@@acajudi100 It matters if you are raised in that culture. I agree with you though: being born in an area isn't enough. Sure on paper she's Mexican, but in reality she's more Kenyan, hell even more American, than anything else.
Oh she deserves the Oscar but won't get it black actress never win for anything but these kind of movies. Don't forget her co star is Nigerian British they both deserve it but won't get it sad but true
Mrsirajabdullah71 HOW DO YOU LIKE THEM NOW!! Yani black folks and putting each other down... Please eat your words!! Best Supporting Actress AND Best Picture!!!
It's so interestingly hurtful to see negative comments from some African sisters. SMH. It hurts to see such things from fellow USA citizens; & now from my African sisters. SMH. I expected different & better.
I love lupita but this thing of she was born in mexico,nobody is against that but she was brought up in Kenya..there is no way she doesn't speak good Swahili because it's mandatory here and she studied in kenyan schools..she's cunningly denying being Kenyan but alright wakenya tunajiua wenyewe
i like lupita n obviously she is very talented..buh twas such a shame wen u cldnt speak swahili or dholuo which confidence thatbu put out on the red carpet or on live shows....u have to think of what u miss back home...like really??i be outta home fr 1 day n al tel a million list i miss bout my country....but i still must say u r talented n great work on ur acting...😘
she wants to recognised as who she is rather than where she is from,,but us kenyans and the mexicans are fighting all over the internet over her citizenship yet she cant even say two words in swahili , yet she gave out a whole interview in spanish in another foreign news network .we should stop the madness and realise that she is now part of america even if her roots are here in kenya , just celebrate that part of her is kenyan but dont enforce it in your arguments for she is only ours in origin but theirs in use .
She can't speak her national language yet she went to Kenyan primary and secondary schools where Swahili is compulsory for 12 years. I feel sorry for Africans who denounce their languages after going to other continents for a few years.
sarah ndanu lol that's what money does. You get to afford the most expensive make up n stuff. It's true. She doesn't look overly done but still looks gorgeous

Why Hollywood, why not Kenya? Just a question - I am not into anything that goes on in Hollywood.
She sounds absolutely as beautiful as she looks. My 9 month old son is playing around on the floor and smiling every time he happens to look up and see her.

That explanation, about why your hair is short, is exactly why my hair is short!
Jaluo always has that great and superior nyadhi!!!
It's an inborn thing yawa-ptho!
She's Stunnig.
My girl is Kenyan to and i tell her to be natural also. I do not like weave myself, but White women also wear weaves to. their hair.
Talking about Africa, I like your phrase, 'I miss the smell of rain when it falls on the red soil', that is, when it falls on hot sun baked soil of course. Oh, how I miss that too, having been away from Africa for 11 continuous years!
Did you make it back home
This is the power of a nilote.......Luos in particular makes KENYA..We represent baby...BIG UP SMALL SIZ

finding the value in the present moment
Much Love!!
Thank you.
Great speaker!

humbling
I wish Nigeria and other countries in the world could have movie industries that could really compete with Hollywood so Nyong'o could play a role in a Nigerian movie instead in another American one.
Yes I love Shuga. That's how I knew about Lupita. :) I love herrrrrrrrr
Hata mimi nataka kuku jaber, jaber!!! From lake Victoria to dusty foot land gunning for you. I am also happy to see mzee teaching once again he belong there!
From motherland Kenya +254 to the world...@Obama @Lupita @Kipchoge @Rudisha @Kemboi @DavidWachira etc etc....we give the best of us.
l love you so much God bless you
Representing Kenya well Lupita....All the best in the future.
What's not to like about Lupita, fantastic. Way to rep for "all" of the 254.
the interviewers questions are on point...
everytime i look at her i just go "goddamn girl...like GODDAMN!"-in a good way.
God always gvs those He knows will remain unchanged so amazing how her dignity and personality still remain respectfull kp it up luppy..
I hope you win Oscar award
well done Lupita.
Kelnwa Oscars nyaka Pacho Kisumo Jaber.
Sasa lupita
The interview is so fan girling.
Lupita is Mexican and she proudly repeats that.
na wewe umetoka? kwani someone can forget his/her country? i dn't thnk so!
I u were born in Uganda it dsn't mean that u r a Ugandian, NO.
She was born in Mexico but her roots are in Kenya duh
She has said herself she is Mexi-Kenyan. She can be proud of both. You weirdos need to get over it, at the end of the day, she's beautiful, talented and human!
Many Africans born all over the world, including Mexico. the second president of Mexico was African mixed. Vicente Guerrero, and he freed the slaves
Solomon Omondi actualy it is , she a mexican By birth, and geneticaly kenyan. You May Not understand it But it is like that in Most foreign countries.
Lupita, we have red soil here in the South. You can come here to Georgia :)
that was great acting.
Is it me or did anyone pick up on the back handed way the interveiwr asked about her hair? Why the fuck would she ask her about her hair? What the fuck is she suppose to do put on a wig like you? I love her natural (I hope she never changes her natural look.)
I am proud of you to date!

Kudos Nyaseme

Am proud of our very own LUOpita
keep up lupita...muli, set of questions thumbs dwn
This reporter should take an example and take off her weave..
Lol you deserve an Oscar 😂
I watched her with Allen show😂❤️,when she demonstrate the sexy look😊 she is cute,the way her English comes our lazyly I love it
Celebrities like Heidi klum acknowledge their descent(German) so why is it difficult for her?
Someone to look up to
Please am HENRY phanton kindly requesting for the connection with Rupita i started introducing action and horror movies here in Kenya last year and some trailer are here in youtube ,i beg for more ideas from her please.

not the first kenyan to be nominated but the first luo.
Please do tell which other Kenyan has ever been nominated.......Don'tshort change her great achievement......Celebrate it!
I wanted to disagree with you then I realised Luo is actually bigger than Kenya. We have Luos in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and Sudan so that might validate your statement :-)
even in western ethiopia there are luos
Actually just found out in Eastern DR Congo too !
A new Helle Berry!
GUD
What a shame, there's no way she can't manage a simple "Hello Kenya!" in Swahili.

You talk like you did not watch Shuga. On this same RUclips please find clips... Be informed! Mschew...
oh she now cant talk swahili yet she grew up talking it. i used to admire her till she refused to say a word in swahili on an interview
She can't speak her national language yet she went to Kenyan primary and secondary schools where Swahili is compulsory for 12 years. I feel sorry for Africans who denounce their languages after going to other continents for a few years.
You are right
LUPITA STREET IN KISUMO
😀😀😀😀😀👍
Not in bad faith but Lilian looks cheap with all that makeup and weaves yet Lupita is simple with her short hair yet looks elegant and expensive!
its true Sarah, tell her...u gals should always be sincere wid each other....
....sometimes simplicity works best.
should have gone with her make up artist
sarah ndanu lol that's what money does. You get to afford the most expensive make up n stuff. It's true. She doesn't look overly done but still looks gorgeous
True siz Sarah Ndanu
Ol' girl weave is stiff and horrible. Lupita looks great though
