The Backstory: Lupita Nyong'o

[@Flandersned08]

She is so smart but at the same time so not pretentious. Very classy lady

[@Aprinsa]

I have never heard an entertainment celebrity as famous as her speak so beautifully before. And she is so physically attractive, too. She just exudes this unassuming quality. An angel. A role model to everyone everywhere of every color, I should think! That might be an exaggeration, but compared to most of Hollywood, you know.

[@sandothemando8924]

Her arms are very toned and muscly and she's got very attractive broad shoulders. Pause at 0:22 for proof. Haha! She's ridiculously gorgeous.

Her skin tone is so rich and velvety. She brings out the best in every colour I see her in. Her features are so beautiful, she has these big dreamy mystical eyes and her top lip curves up in a way that makes her seem like she's constantly stifling a giggle when she smiles. So beautiful.

[@PHlophe]

lol she doesn't have big eyes.they are common in size.you couldn't wait to slip a stereotype in, between your creepy colonial compliments. I can see through the bullshit

[@bellspra]

Lechiffresix six she does have big eyes. dont turn everything positive you read into negative bullshit

[@PHlophe]

Fire Crystal nope she doesn't. Big would a lot different than wide. because that slow witted racist can't describe a black person's eyes and those aren't even wide. you remove the name Lupita in the commentary , you put in Cocambo from the voltaire novel, you have the same old racist descriptive effect from the 17th century.she has rendered lupita soulless while pretending to lavish her with compliments.You ain't slick .

[@bellspra]

oh my god, please give me an example of big eyes, then?

[@dovapi]

she speaks so eloquently love it.

[@andreasofiavargas2533]

I think she was talking about Hampshire College. That's where she got her BA.

Her skin is absolutely stunning, dark skin like hers is such a beautiful thing.

[@simplyshama]

everyone seems a bit fascinated by the fact she speaks so well. usually africans that migrate - either to the UK or America - speak really well. The way you speak is based on your education and environment not by your race

[@Dwaine888]

+simply.s it's more the "way" she speaks English part of it could be her accent but she is elegant in her bearing, the opposite is Raven Simone who TRYS to sound elegant and intelligent and fails everytime

[@yir9383]

simply.s True...

[@Tmaria-wn3hc]

simply.s lol not really english is an official language in kenya .

[@trulyxamises1239]

not only those who migrate. there is a lot of eusopean and American influence here so English is spoken quite well plus English is an official language in most African countries.

[@DMJV101]

it's interesting to see all these comments of awe and amazement at the fact that she's so articulate, cultured, beautiful and black.... it's also kind of perturbing because, not very often black people, like her, are showcased in this kind of light as much as her...nonetheless it's something positive and necessary LOVE HER

[@mademoiselle3000]

I think is all due to her background she wasn't raised here in America she comes from Kenya where women have self respect and are not Ghetto I'm glad that one of my fellow Kenyans is teaching black women in America how to carry themselves

[@alicetindilee1327]

KatyDelMar you said it well !

[@alicetindilee1327]

all i can say is "lm proudly kenyan, proudly african!" i love people from other places around the world, all that matters is how you were raised. lf you know how to use your manners and you respect other people without descrimination,always use the appropriate language (words), be classy NOT trashy...well, my point is you get what you give! you give ghetto, you get ghetto, you give classy, you .....

[@Jossette888]

alice tindi lee I agree with you and there is nothing wrong in having pride in your race, country and culture, in fact it is an important part of creating self-identity and self-esteem. What I take issue with is using that cultural or racial pride to claim superiority over others. This is the same type of mentality that took root and gave one race the impetus to enslave, colonize and destroy so many other cultures and races without moral consciousness or empathy.

[@alicetindilee1327]

Jossette Monroe , i get your point, thats so true!

[@skincarewithaustin]

"I felt shame for not understanding someone who was my friend." Something about that really hit home for some reason. Very well put!

[@MsNaturalBeauty7]

She is such a well spoken individual. I just love the way she articulates herself! Ugh. I'm in love!

[@zenayonce]

This is not fair. She is beautiful and smart and cultured and intellectual and well traveled. When does it happen?

[@Nizaria18]

what happens? dude she is a rich African girl well trained ;-) be happy for her accomplishment

[@orangemoonglows2692]

Nizaria18 lol. it's weird. i don't know why people are acting like they've never encountered a black woman with all of these attributes, american or not. it's almost insulting.

[@Nizaria18]

orange moonglows let's just hope that they learn something from our heritage for Lupita to be their and be the daughter of a senator in Kenya proves that she has more to offer rich back round and is also educated so those who wish to deceive them selves should just learn from her and humble their selves because this woman has it all ... and as if that wasn't enough she admires Whoopi Golberd as a role model that was a slap in the face and a bucket of ice water for black Americans so don't worry black Americans live by bleaching creams and inferiority lol...and her being the new reflection of beauty and grace just disturbed them in an inconvenient way , well I personally wish her the best ;-)

[@orangemoonglows2692]

Nizaria18 gtfo. you're crazy. i'm black american and very proud. black american people paved the way for this kenyan girl (and every other african immigrant) to come here and have the success she's had in hollywood. she would not be there were it not for the efforts and struggles of my black american people - be they high yella or the deepest black you little disrespectful moron. we've been at the hollywood game since the very beginning. have a seat.

[@orangemoonglows2692]

Nizaria18 lmao. okay. that's it. it's settled. you are a certified crazy.

[@lucyrosevelt5274]

She's got "it". That Jackie O quality. She is the person every one wants to be around and every woman aspires to be. It goes even beyond her performance in that difficult role. She is so beautiful, articulate and bursting with charm...I can't say enough about her.

I can't help but feel grateful for how unashamedly herself Lupita is. She is beautiful from a deep place. Not every person is blessed with her external features. But the radiance and grace with which she communicates is surely available to everyone. We all have a true beauty. But she has learnt how to emanate hers, and that's amazing.

I love the way she has represented africans so well in this brief video strong yet highly mannered, talented and full of raw beauty. I'm Kenyan myself and i attend the high school she used to attend and she has given me enough motivation to work as hard as she did. Im super proud of this stunning queen, and so is Kenya. She is the definition of a celebrity, a form of inspiration. I love you Lupita x

[@dvcfam1]

+KatyDelMar why would you use the beautiful Lupita N'yongo as a launching point for an attack on other women of African descent? As an African woman, I am sure you are aware of the negative impact of stereotyping. Lupita stands in stark contrast to every stereotype launched against African women and as women of African descent we see our true reflection in the world finally and not some caricature constructed to obscure who we are. There are many women of grace, beauty, intelligence and integrity within the African family. It is a beautiful thing to see one ascend take her place on the world stage. Don't make this moment ugly with your generalizations.

[@iXeroc]
