![blackishpress's tweet photo. Lupita Nyong'o comments on her connection with her Mexican Roots:
“I was born in Mexico. My father was in self-exile there for a number of years and I was born in the last year that he was there. He was teaching political science at the university and yeah, I was born there and then we moved back to Kenya.
And like shortly after I turned one and when I was 16, my parents were like, you know what? You have a Mexican passport. You should speak Spanish. And they sent me to Mexico to learn Spanish. And so I spent seven months there and I did a very similar thing, actually. It's what actually happened.
Informed my decision to speak in an American accent. When I was in Mexico, after one month of being there, I said ‘Okay, enough with the English, no more English. I'm only going to speak Spanish.’ And for the rest of my time there, I spoke Spanish because I was like, I want to learn this language as fully as possible. And if I allow myself to have the crutch, of speaking English to the people around me, my classmates and stuff, I'm not going to pick up this language.
I stopped speaking English and it made me a very quiet person because I didn't have enough Spanish to, you know, be conversational. But what it did is it, it, my, my brain, switched into survival mode and that's the best way to learn a language because you pick things up and you hold on to them for dear life yeah you start creating connections. [...] And i learned spanish pretty well as a result.”

Only a woman can write a scene like this bec this is exactly what women do in love and hope that men do for them. To be loved is to have someone listen to the song you mentioned, or watch a movie you like. Always the little things.
Doctor of FINE arts indeed

If we're ever in a situation where we're both doing math in our heads, I'm just pretending. It's all on you.

We fought hard to make the people’s game available to the people — and won.
