Lupita Nyong’o brings her talent and brilliance to a story from her native East Africa. To celebrate, she takes Vogue—and the most glorious prints of the season—to her family’s village in Kenya.
Lupita Nyong’o
walks tall, much taller than her height. Her mother, Dorothy, once said
that her family will forever tease her about how she walks: as if she
believes she’s six feet tall. (She’s five-five.) The first time I meet
her, at a laid-back taverna in Brooklyn, where she lives, I feel that
walk. She is cool, straight-backed, circumspect. She doesn’t ooze
emotion the way many young Americans do. She orders the green eggs and
lamb, and lets the joke speak for itself, not offering a gratuitous
laugh. But once we start speaking about her work, she’s all in, as if
able to forget the public Lupita for a moment or two, slip inside the
details of story and character, and let go.
