Lupita’s Fashion Beyond her fashion statements, Lupita Nyong’o has long been a trailblazer in the entertainment industry. Her stellar acting career includes an Academy Award for her role in “12 Years a Slave” and memorable performances in films like “Black Panther” and “Us.” https://www.fashionghana.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/lupita-berlin-film-festival.mp4 As she takes on the role of jury president at the Berlin Film Festival, Lupita continues to break barriers, opening doors for more inclusivity and recognition for African talent in the global film landscape.
