Lupita Nyong’o
Lupita is a Kenyan-Mexican actress and she identifies with both traits proudly. Her parents are Kenyan but she was born in Mexico.
“I’m Mexican and Kenyan at the same time,” she said, according to El Mañana. “I’ve seen the quarrels over my nationality, but I’m Kenyan and Mexican at the same time. So again, I am Mexican-Kenyan, and I am fascinated by carne asada tacos.”
Her parents are of Luo descent who name their offspring after the events of the day. Her first name Lupita is a variation of the name Guadalupe which is Spanish for “From The River Of The Wolf” and is of Spanish origin while Nyong’o has something to do with “thirst or gall.”
