With her incredible acting, beautiful looks, and inspirational moments, Lupita Nyong'o is one of the most awe-inspiring celebrities out there. I, for one, can't help being completely inspired and taken aback by many of the things that she says and does. So, without further ado, here are all of the times we all couldn't help but be completely in awe of Lupita Nyong'o.

1. When she looked like this at the 2014 Oscars

The color is beautiful, her skin is glowing, and she looks amazing as ever. Enough said.

2. When she won Best Supporting Actress and gave us chills with her speech

Watch it here, and then find me someone m ore gracious and humble.

3. When she went through a complete transformation in Star Wars: The Force Awakens

I was genuinely shocked when I found out that this was Lupita.

4. When she gave this incredible speech about feeling beautiful in her skin

In this moving and beautiful speech, Lupita talks about her own journey with finding beauty in her skin tone and her hopes for helping young girls feel beautiful in their skin, as well.

5. When she broke all of our hearts and changed all of our lives in 12 Years a Slave


If you haven't seen this film, you need to. It will change your life.

6. When she managed to still look great covered in purple

Pretty in purple, Lupita was preparing for an upcoming role.

7. When she was glowing in yellow at the SAG-AFTRA Foundation

She looks absolutely radiant and I need to know how to achieve that glow.

8. When she showed us around her home village in Kenya

Down to earth and humble as always, Lupita takes us back to her roots and shows us around her home village of Kisumu, Kenya.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
