Lupita Nyong’o for VOGUE

If there is one thing I love its a black girl that's killing it and Lupita definitely killed her Vogue photo shoot. I mean look at her she looks absolutely impeccable, her skin, the styling, the makeup everything is perfection. It is not very often that a woman of color is given such an opportunity ,and what really resonated with me about the photo shoot was how authentic she looked.

Although it happens more commonly now then before but I still felt honored to have one of my people on the cover of one the biggest high fashion magazines. Its not something that happens often and I just wanted to take a moment and shine a light on how times have changed. How it seems that us as Black and African women are being allowed to shine in our true skin which is beautiful. We are being allowing to embrace and show off our melanin with pride.This photo shoot gives hope to little Black and African babies who are insecure or may not even love themselves because they don't look like the people who are on these magazine or on television. Seeing Lupita makes me proud that I am a African woman.
