Celebrated Kenyan actress Lupita Nyong'o got a rare chance to visit Oprah Winfrey's home on Friday, October 25.
Taking to Twitter, the talk show host revealed that they sat down to talk about her new book Sulwe and her Oscar Award.
"Lupita Nyongo is black girl magic personified and now she’s spreading that magic to kids everywhere with her new book Sulwe.
"She came to my house to talk about this love letter to herself and her fateful Oscars night. Our conversation airs this Sat 10/26 at 8 pm on Own TV," Oprah wrote.
In the video, Oprah was seen holding up the book that portrays a powerful, moving picture about colorism, self-esteem, and learning that true beauty comes from within.
In the book, Lupita narrates challenges that the dark-skinned girl encounters lessons that children learn and then spends the rest of her life unlearning.
When she launched the book on October 1, 2019, she claimed that her inspiration was drawn from not feeling beautiful.
"This is a story for little ones, but no matter the age I hope it serves as an inspiration for everyone to walk with joy in their own skin.
"I put on the TV and only saw pale skin. I got teased and taunted about my night-shaded skin. And my one prayer to God, the miracle worker, was that I would wake up lighter-skinned," Lupita stated.
