Sulwe written by Lupita Nyong’o.
Lupita is most known for her role as Nakia in Black Panther, and in 2019, she wrote Sulwe. Sulwe that tells the story of a little girl coming to terms with her skin color, as the darkest person in her family. Through some extra love and care from her mom and a magical adventure with a star she realizes that her beauty and light comes from within. Lupita reveled in an interview with NPR, that this story was closely modeled off her own experiences. She says that while her journey to self-love was a bit longer than Sulwe’s, seeing herself represented in the fashion industry was a game changer. In knowing how much that representation has made an impact in her own life, she has continued to pay it forward through her own work.
