I realized that beauty was not a thing that I could acquire or consume, it was something that I just had to be.
Lupita Nyong'oThe first time I cut all my hair off was when I was 19. I just got fed up going to the salon every week. I'd had enough! On a whim, it was off. It's low-maintenance.
Lupita Nyong'oWhat I will say is that what I have learned for myself is that I donโt have to be anybody else; and that myself is good enough; and that when I am being true to that self, then I can avail myself to extraordinary thingsYou have to allow for the impossible to be possible.
