Like most people, I’ve been a fan of the amazing and equally gorgeous Lupita Nyong’o since her Oscar-winning breakout role in 12 Years a Slave. Yesterday, Vogue realeased their October cover story, of which Nyong’o is the star. This is her third time gracing the magazine’s cover.

I never thought I’d see a Vogue cover line be “I want to create opportunities for people of color,” but it is. And that’s amazing. In the cover story, that Elizabeth Rubin wrote so incredibly well, Nyong’o talks about representation and changing “the narrative, offer[ing] a new lens on African identity” with projects like Eclipsed, Queen of Katwe, and Americanah – a broadway play she recently starred in, a Ugandan-based movie that’ll be in theatres at the end of the month, and a movie Nyong’o is to make, respectively.

Vogue followed Nyong’o to her home in Kenya, allowing us to get to know her more. Though I’ve learned a lot about Nyong’o since her Oscar win in 2014, with every interview and story, including and especially this one, I become even more impressed. I encourage you to read it here and get the magazine issue! The photographs, by Mario Testino, are just as great. I have never seen someone more beautiful in all of my life. Get your life.
