Lupita Nyong’o pulls back the curtain on the type of roles she was offered following her Oscar win:
“After I won the Academy Award, you’d think, ‘I’m gonna get lead roles here and there.’ [They’re like], ‘Oh, Lupita, we’d like you to play another movie where you’re a slave but this time you’re on a slave ship.’ Those are the kind of offers I was getting in the months after winning my Academy Award. There were think pieces of ‘Is this the beginning and end of this dark-skinned black African woman’s career?’ I had to deafen myself to all these pontificators because, at the end of the day, I’m not a theory— I’m an actual person. I’d like to be a joyful warrior for changing the paradigms of what it means to be African and if that means I work one job less a year to ensure that I’m not perpetuating the stereotypes that are expected of people from my continent, then let me do that.”
Having dinner with several billionaires
Our waitress knocks over our $2,000 aged bottle of beer
One of the billionaires is PISSED
Demands for the waitress to be fired right there
I calm the table down
“Everyone makes mistakes. To prove it, I’ll hire you right now to be CEO of my company,” I said.
The entire restaurant was stunned.
I gave her a $500k salary and millions in stock options.
6 months later, she ran my business into the ground.
Turns out, she wasn’t qualified to run a business at all.
I sued her for gross negligence and took all her belongings.
Broke, she returned to being a waitress.
I went in for lunch and left her a 0% tip.
The entire restaurant stood and applauded me for teaching her a lesson
The waitress’s name?
Elon Musk.

1 car crash and 2 of the most difficult but greatest months of my life.
I’m an emotional mess tonight but I just want to say, no matter how dark a place you are in. It can and WILL get better. 2 years ago I was in the darkest place in my life, 2 years later we have made history.
Thank you to everyone who believed in me. I love you all very much. I’ll do a post when I’m able to process what’s just happened. MENTAL HEALTH MATTERS ❤️
