Award-winning actress and filmmaker, Lupita Nyong’o takes Vogue Magazine on a quest to her native village in Kenya wearing the season's hottest prints from Givenchy Chloe, and Roberto Cavalli to Duro Olowu, Prada and Missoni. We love her so much because, not only does she represent for our talented community of color, but she really takes the time to utilize her platform to bring awareness to our society's twisted standards of beauty. She continues to highlight the lack of opportunities available because of it, while finding ways to encourage and uplift our young girls. She told Vogue editor, Elizabeth Ruben that she wants to “Create Opportunities for People of Color” and we are all for it! She also said that she was delighted...

Cover Stories
Oscar winner, Yale graduate, and "Woman of the Year," Lupita Nyong'o covers Glamour Magazine's December issue. I must say, I am very impressed with her interview. Editors at Glamour could have taken the easy route and focused only on Lupita's life as the new fashion industry muse or who she's dating or her next role. Instead, they provided a platform for her to continue dialogue about our current standards of beauty and how she is slowly redefining how we see it! Playwright Eve Ensler refers to Lupita Nyong'o as "one of the great talents and spirits of our time, at the beginning of an extraordinary journey,' and we couldn't agree more.
