Lupita Nyong’o on the First-Ever Sulwe Day and the Power of Fantasy—From Storybooks to ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’
This weekend, the actor marks the third anniversary of her children’s book, Sulwe, with a nationwide celebration—thanks to a donation of 60,000 books with support from Lancôme, First Book, and Simon & Schuster. The narrative explores ideas of colorism and self-love, while leaning into whimsy, explains Nyong’o: “The power of imagination and storybooks cannot be underestimated.”
