@AncestryUS is there anyway us who are not celebrities can have him dive into our history like this in private or publicly? Either way I would love to know my history. I already sent my DNA to your lab and it's almost done. But I would love to know even more. Can you let me know how I can do this. Thank you so much for all that you guys do. This is so exciting.
As a Kenyan, I would've loved to hear her ancestral history because we're from the same tribal family (Nilotic) so would be indirectly learning mine Edit: Guys I'm not related to Lupita! We're not from the same tribe - just from a larger tribe that broke off! Search Nilotic
People think going to the US as an immigrant is a struggle. But I think surviving as an immigrant, particularly a Black African immigrant in Mexico, is WILD and a testament to her family tree.
I don't understand why Peter decided to emigrate to Mexico, of all places. Given Kenya's history, it would make more sense for him to take his family to GB.
Well, during slavery escaped slaves from slave states of Texas, Florida, Alabama, and Louisiana went there. I mean it made more sense than running all the way to Canada. When Mexico ran everything West of Louisiana they outlawed slavery can't remember the dates...Google it. They were welcomed with open arms, no I.D. SS# or any documentation. 😉
I have always thought Lupita a beautiful young lady with a strong mind and spirit, NOW I know where she got it from- her father!!! What a wonderful story to find out about your father.
Sharon, Give her mother credit for keeping the family together while her husband was imprisoned & being tortured. Both of her parents were strong influencers in her childhood.

The name Lupita and her Spanish now all make sense. She spoke Spanish very well in Black Panther 2. I was like nah, this girl speaks Spanish for real. First time I ever saw her I was blown away by her beauty. Still am
Wow, I'm learning so much about her now! I just never thought she wasn't born in America, now come to find out she is actually from Kenya, and born in Mexico. Wow. I'd really go to see a movie about her dad.
Even though she was born in Mexico, the whole family returned to Kenya when Lupita was 1 year old. She basically grew up and went to school in Kenya until 16 .. after high school that she went back to Mexico. She started her acting right in Kenya while at school and on Kenyan theatre scene and media. She as just as Kenyan as it can get. Now people want to make her more Mexican and American than she is Kenyan.
This is so beautiful, and gives me hope that I may one day learn more from my father, and grandparent's history in Nigeria. We survived a genocide, moving to America during the Biafran War, and it is very difficult to learn anything before that. The scars remain.
Nigeria is one of the most ethnically diverse countries in the world (believe it's #5). While that may seem like a challenge, it can serve as a framework. Use the migration periods of the groups that you belong to. Research conquests, conflicts, tribal and kingdom alliances for clues. You may be able to narrow it down to a reasonable probability by eliminating the impossibilities. I love the work that this research team does for that reason. Sherlock Holmes could learn from this channel.

If anyone wants to know how brutal President Moi's regime was, read about Robert Ouko; it seems his spirit cannot rest in peace. The shockwaves of what happened to him still reverberate every year when Ouko's name comes up here and there. He was a symbol of the single minded brutality of that era. I dont blame Lupita's dad for fleeing, and it was incredibly brave of him to come back after only 4 years. Alot has changed in Kenya because of these brave men and it is our prayer that God will continue to liberate and protect this country. Raila Odinga is of course the symbol of democracy in Kenya having fought for many of the freedoms we enjoy today, though very much unappreciated - esp. among the youth - due to poor documentation of our history, and a continued culture of tribal discrimination that plagues the country; fueled by politicians. We believe, and we declare by God's grace that NEVER AGAIN will we suffer the madness of those years.
@@andriakatuga3014 but the verb tense must match that of the first part of the sentence, which refers back to the time when Brie “HAD no idea”. (If you’re going to pick nits, don’t be surprised if other people do 😉.)
This is a great story. The only strange thing about Lupita's image is why her managers seem to want to disconnect or distance her from Kenya. She is basically a Kenyan who made it big in the USA. Absolutely brilliant young lady from an equally brilliant family. But definitely Luo. Definitely Kenyan. She should embrace more of this in her PR / image building. Africa is great and we should be proud of it and embrace it.
@@amehka5416 She literally rerurned to Kenya at the age of 1, lived and went to school in Kenya until she did her high school! She began acting while in school on Kenya. She went to Mexico after high school. She is more Kenyan than she will ever be Mexican or American. It is trye her Kenyanness is downplayed.
@@esem135 They really downplay it. This whole 'I am Mexican' thing has no authenticity. The girl is Kenyan through and through. This new persona she developed since making it big to be honest, is not really honest to her roots. Lets keep it real. She is fantastic at what she does through and through but should be 100% proud to be Kenyan. Living away from home momentarily for 1 or 2 years when you cant even say your own name hardly transforms u into a foreigner. Just be proud of who are. I blame her managers though - they must have steered her down this path for popularity's sake. What to do.
This story is common even during colonial times when relatives dissapeared never to be found, my dad's brother dissapeared during emergency period during british occupation, Moi used the same tactics....little is talked on it other than harsh harsh stories, just as she describes about her uncle.
This was such a fascinating video it so nice of her to share her beautiful story with us about her family her father strength live on within her lupita is such inspirational to many God bless her🙏🏾❤.
People who are kenyan or who know of our second liberation it wasn't easy, in our house when my father would speak about moi(second president) he would look right, left, up and down and speak in a hash tone, funny thing our neighbour lived 50 meters from our house, that's the kind of fear we were accustomed to
Have to keep reminding myself that Peter is Anyang' Nyong'o 😆 I see him often at the supermarket quietly shopping with his body guard almost unnoticed without a fuss. Making sure he picks the best fruit and veg. A very calm man but very fiery when in his political stance.
I didn't know that about her father or family in general but I wished there was more on like her grandparents or further back like the others they have done.
Very pretty lady. But wow she had a strong father and family. I’m white so maybe this sounds strange. But I’m incredibly honored to see this story. And thankful for what her father did. I am 65 yrs old and as a young child my dad taught me color doesn’t matter. We are all the same. In my faith I believe the same thing. We are all Gods children. I am so proud of this you woman and happy to call her my sister. As we are all Gods children.
She's so poised dignified and sexy! I just love her! And everytime i see her and her family they always remind me of my Aunty! She looks very much like she could pass for Luo.
Sure is. She comes from a long line of political power. Her forefathers (great grands) were given money and power from the West to point out and sell other people that resided in Africa to be enslaved in the West or around the world (Trans Atlantic Slave trade).
We were talking about this not so long ago that no matter home bad your home country is, there is no place like home. Each place has an energy that becomes a part of you when you grow up.
I WOULD have liked to hear more about her DNA ancestry. Such as what tribes they were, and if there are any distant American relatives who were brought over during the Slave Trade.
She is a LUO I, just like Obama's father who is also a Luo. LUO is the fourth largest tribe in kenya. we are traditionally fishermen and i'm proud to be a Luo.
To be honest, ALL of human history depresses me. Whenever i want to stop watching fluff and want to learn about the history of any country, it brings me down. The personal accounts are the worse, but just reading the facts is bad enough. And if its not humans doing bad things to each other, its nature: so many horrific diseases & disasters...sorry to be negative. But this is a good story and i guess we can take heart from it. The human race keeps struggling along & this mans fortitude & courage gives me hope.
At least you are not desensitised to human struggles, I've stopped watching the news a while ago it's just too depressing, but you can't really escape it totally.
I just found my bio father last year after 38 years. He lives on the west coast though so I haven’t meant him yet. I finally have a family (his side) that I finally feel like I belong too

She is a LUO I, just like Obama's father who is also a Luo. LUO is the fourth largest tribe in kenya. we are traditionally fishermen and i'm proud to be a Luo.
Man this woman right here ive really been crushing on. She just has that IT factor. Her father seemed like an honorable man.
Hi, thanks for watching!
@@AncestryUS Anytime.
Wow please do more of this!
I love all things Ancestry
To be honest, ALL of human history depresses me. Whenever i want to stop watching fluff and want to learn about the history of any country, it brings me down. The personal accounts are the worse, but just reading the facts is bad enough. And if its not humans doing bad things to each other, its nature: so many horrific diseases & disasters...sorry to be negative.
But this is a good story and i guess we can take heart from it. The human race keeps struggling along & this mans fortitude & courage gives me hope.
At least you are not desensitised to human struggles, I've stopped watching the news a while ago it's just too depressing, but you can't really escape it totally.
Her DNA also has connected her family to direct descendants of Eve .
No, its the MITOCHONDRIAL EVE, the last woman known to science that all current females descend from today, also black only and only in Africa.
We're all direct descendants of Eve. You misunderstood that part of the episode.
There is no such thing as a biblical eve
Um crazy
What an amazing Legacy!

I just found my bio father last year after 38 years. He lives on the west coast though so I haven’t meant him yet. I finally have a family (his side) that I finally feel like I belong too
That is amazing news! Thank you so much for sharing your discovery with us. We hope you get the opportunity to meet him in person soon. We want to wish you the very best of luck as you build on the wonderful connections you have made on your paternal side of the family. 😊
