Lupita Nyong’o Turned Down Slave Roles After Her Oscar Win To Avoid Reinforcing Stereotypes


Someone else echoed, “I mean, honestly, we have enough slave movies, we don’t need any more. The atrocities of slavery are ingrained in books, TV, and movies…let’s move past black ppl having to play slaves, it’s really insulting atp.”

“Hearing this from someone as accomplished as Lupita really shows how deep the industry biases still run. Takes a lot of strength to turn down ‘easy’ roles and choose the ones that actually move the culture forward. Massive respect for how she protects her craft and her identity,” another post read.
