I just love Lupita Nyong'o. She is beautiful, poised, stylish and talented, and has captured hearts all over the world. Born in Mexico and of Kenyan descent, she's spoken of a time when she didn't feel very beautiful because of the color of her skin. I'm sure she never imagined that one day she, with her gorgeous brown skin, would grace the cover of People magazine for having been named their "Most Beautiful Person for 2014". It is an honor of which she is very deserving, not just because of her obvious visual appeal, but also because she is so very gracious, and that, I feel, outshines anything else. She is the type of role model that our young girls, particularly our girls of color, need to see in the media. A bright star, shining from the inside out. Congratulations, Lupita!
Her story is so inspiring. I'm so happy for her and all her success.
