My Black is Beautiful.. Isn't it truly breathtaking to see so many shades of brown and the beauty in our skin tone, the depth of our features, and the road that we have conquered? Lupito Nyong'o is a stunning woman. Have you seen her gracing the red carpets lately??? Her bold hairstyles and fashionable gowns have been in the spotlight, she is setting the new year off right. She has features that I adore, rocking such a low cut shows her true beauty, reminds me of India Arie song I am Not My Hair....
I watched 12 years a slave for the first time this weekend, and I must say that she did an incredible job in her role. She was even adored then despite the difficult times she withstood in the movie. We as women, we as African Americans have endured so much from the beginning of time, and we still have a long way to go in my mind. But, the obstacles and shortcomings of racism and being held as slaves has changed in some ways. I am thankful for freedom. Could you only imagine the half of what our ancestors went through?? Be Grateful!
Lupito Nyong'o is what I call a Woman of MY BROWN CANVAS. Her skin, her hair, and inspiration to many as a woman of color and as a actress breaking into film is undeniable talent.
