Growing up hearing “Wikipedia isn't a valid source” and then entering a workplace where people say “just ask ChatGPT” is a surprisingly strange timeline
Lupita Nyong'o spoke about how she discovered her name was mentioned in Beyoncé's "Brown Skin Girl"
"The story of this one starts with me learning that I had been name checked in Beyoncé's song. I was in London working on a movie and I happened to have an interview, and the interviewer said to me, "How do you feel about being name checked by Beyonce?" And I was like, "Excuse me, what?" And she was like, "Yeah, this morning a song has been released and your name checked on it." And I hadn't heard it. So I was like, "Well, don't don't mess it for me. I'm going to I'm going to go check it out." So I don't even remember the rest of that day. I went home and then I played this song.
What I remember doing is jumping on my bed up and down because first of all, it wasn't just that I was name checked. I was name checked in a song about embracing our complexion, which is like uh legacy building that I didn't know I was going to be a part of, you know?"
