Lupita Nyong'o shares powerful story behind new children's book, 'Sulwe' l GMA 

Oh Lupita dear African child .. you are an inspiration ...Blessings galore to you ..

As a white blonde girl I must say, dark skinned people you are SO BEAUTIFUL! I am constantly stunned! Please embrace your beauty, it inspires us!

This is absolutely the most beautiful thing. Honestly, soon as they panned over to Lupita sitting with the young girls in front of her- I started tearing up. REPRESENTATION MATTERS!!

Yesss Im an adult with no kids but I wanna get my hand on a copy of Sulwe 👏👏👏

Sulwe means STARS in our mother tongue LUO. Wapi Wakenya, likes hapa. Joluo, Jo Acholi, Jopadholi, Jo Shilluk, Jo Anyuak, Jo Nam, Jo Alur and many others, ket uru likes ka, Waher Lupita. Not forgetting our cousins Jo Dinka kod Jo Nuer....One love!

She is extraordinarily beautiful, and a huge part of that IS her beautiful skin tone. It makes my heart ache that she couldn't see it.

Black women you are very, very beautiful.

Her childhood pic is so cute🤗

The first time I laid eyes on her I thought what a beautiful woman. I saw her in 12 Years a Slave and she looked terrible in that movie because of course she was playing a slave. But even at her worse you could still see how pretty she is. Now we see that not only is she physically beautiful, but has a beautiful spirit. I am sure buying this book for my niece. She is a beautiful dark skinned child and I want her to grow up with self esteem. Although my niece is told by a lot of people how pretty she is. Having the right type of self esteem is important for all children.

Lupita is a most captivatingly gorgeous lady and most beautiful, i admire her talent, so sorry she felt inferior as a child growing up, so thankful she is promoting a children’s book w/ a positive message, a good role model.....

She's such a fine and beautiful young sister. What a shame that many tend to bleach their skin just to blend in and/or be accepted.

After seeing those little girls smile at Lupita that goes to show that she’s doing a damn good job at what she does. She’s beautiful and she’s an inspiration to so many I will always love and support you Ms.Lupita🙏🏾❣️

Lupita you are a very beautiful, dark skin black woman.

To look like she does, and have her intelligence. Who said looks and brains don't mix?

Lupita you are beautiful, talented, smart and wonderful

She’s so eloquent it’s amazing

Much love lupita from Kenya.. representing the African child...

lupita you are EXACTLY who you were made to be!! The world would be boring if there weren't a little color in it!! :) Keep inspiring us all QUEEN!

Brown skin girl, ya skin just like pearls Your back against the world I never trade you for anybody else, say Brown skin girl, ya skin just like pearls The best thing inna di world I never trade you for anybody else, sayPose like a trophy when Naomis walk in She need an Oscar for that pretty dark skin Pretty like Lupita when the cameras close in Drip broke the levee when my Kellys roll in I think tonight she might braid her braids Melanin too dark to throw her shade She minds her business and wines her waist Gold like 24k, okayTonight I might fall in love, dependin' on how you hold me I'm glad that I'm calmin' down, can't let no one come control me Keep dancin' and call it love, she fightin' but fallin' slowly If ever you are in doubt, remember what mama told meBrown skin girl, ya skin just like pearls Your back against the world I never trade you for anybody else, say Brown skin girl, ya skin just like pearls The best thing inna di (about the) world I never trade you for anybody else, sayOh, have you looked in the mirror lately?

Thank you Lupita 😊💓 I am as dark as Sulwe and used to be sad because I was the blackest in the class....what a beautiful and empowering story

Can’t wait to read this book with my boys. 😊

Great video! I love Lupita Nyong'o!!! She is a BEAUTIFUL and inspiring woman! This book "Sulwe" is beautiful, magical, and full of life. I enjoyed reading it at the bookstore. It captivates the meaning of SELF discovery and beauty within yourself. I love it!

I can't even imagine to be with a woman other than a black gorgeous woman.

When you think about it, we all come from a Black woman many many years ago. God destined a Black woman to create life and humanity.

That was amazing.

They need to make this into a movie

Colorism is very prevalent in my country and even though we are the same race, everyone , since a young age, is pressured to be light. Even though I am someone with light skin, growing up, my skin was tan(as a kid) and even though, it was just a tan, someone from my family, who met me for the first time due to certain circumstances, told me I couldn't be part of their family because I wasn't fair enough, like my parents. That's when I felt so small. I felt so weak and like someone was throwing me away because of my skin at that time. My incident cannot compare to the people who are born with dark and deep tones at all but that one incident hurt me so much that it's still so fresh in my mind. I am in my 20s now and no longer in that situation but I ended up meeting some little girls, whom I would consider to be light-medium skinned, like me, to be constantly told that they aren't light enough. They are young kids and yet someone from their relatives/family would tell them to apply home remedies, in order to get rid of their 'tan' or 'dark skin'. I watched the video where you read the book and decided that whenever I get kid, regardless of what skin colour my child ends up being, I will make them hear you read it or read it to them myself. I wanna let them know from a young age that they are amazing the way they are and them being themselves is enough, regardless what anyone says. Thank you for writing this book. Really appreciate it. Night or Day, to me, everyone is enough the way they are.

Beautiful woman

Sulwe means star in her native language Luo..
