as we sit down at the Los Angeles offices of's 'Awards Chatter' podcast. I ask Nyong'o what she would tell herself if she could go back in time seven years before she was cast in, the film for which she won a best supporting actress Academy Award — becoming only the 15th female performer ever to win for a film debut, and that category's first-ever winner from Mexico, Kenya or Africa at-large — and through which she became an A-list star.
"As a woman, it's not cool, it's not acceptable, to be lofty in what you want. I would encourage that girl to be lofty. And I continue to encourage myself to be lofty. It's not about the size of the dream; it's about the quality of it, and what impact do you want to have.", Nyong'o, a Mexican-born Kenyan, morphed almost overnight from total unknown to household name and face.
this actress is excellent
