They say the early bird catches the worm..! I woke up this morning at 6:00am and this wonderful news hit my Insta feed: Lupita Nyong’o on the cover of Vogue! Amazing!!! So excited for our girl. First an Oscar winning role, then the face of Lancome and now this! What a tremendous year indeed! I’m so proud of her. She has defied the odds in many ways: as a new actress, as a women of color, as a dark skin and natural hair’d woman of color. Watching her success truly makes me believe anything is possible. Anything. What an inspiration. Dream Big, joyettes!
