#WomanCrushWednesday: Lupita Nyong’o

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UFL chapter.

There are beautiful women and there are stunning women. And then there are women who appear to have transcended the mortal confinements of beauty and grace, becoming ethereal beings with no earthly limitations. Academy Award-winning actress Lupita Nyong’o is one such woman. Not only is she absolutely gorgeous, but she is also a fantastic actor with a big heart who never loses sight of what’s really important. Join us in making her your Woman Crush Wednesday.

I wasn’t kidding when I talked about her goddess-like beauty.

She had the most touching and real Oscar acceptance speech I’ve ever heard.

And recognized the real-life person that her winning role was based on.

She is a role model who believes everyone deserves to know how beautiful they are.

She hung out with Elmo on Sesame Street and talked about how much she loved her skin, and how everyone should love the skin they’re born with!

In case you forgot how adorable she is.

She’s unapologetic about celebrating her accomplishments.

She loves her brother.

Her laugh is literally sunshine and sparkles and all things good in the world.

She’d be absolutely honored to be your Woman Crush Wednesday!
