Being called gorgeous is not a bad thing! But at the same time, I donโt want to thrive on peopleโs opinions of me.
Lupita Nyong'oI loved duping my parents; I liked manipulating them. It was a way for me to stand out. It was fun.
Lupita Nyong'oI went to an all-boys high school, and they accepted girls in only the two A.P. classes. They had these archaic rules: for example, girls couldn't wear makeup. I found it so outrageous that an all-boys school could tell girls to not wear makeup! So I went on a campaign. I got a petition signed and everything. If a girl wants to wear makeup to boost confidence, why not?
