There's this royal aura to her
she's also very well spoken, so eloquent

We’re here for Chadwick tonight...R.I.P. young king.💔

Allowing little black girls to see strong black women embracing afrocentric hairstyles and individualism will have a postive butterfly effect for generations. This film is going to change the world.

I am a white guy living in Austria, a predominantly white country with a black population of 0.3%. I dont really know any black people and I dont have any black friends. But let me tell you this, I absolutely loved Black Panther, I loved how fresh it felt after so many movies being more of the same. And not only Black Panther. Luke Cage, another series with a majority black cast, just finished it yesterday, amazing as well. I loved it.
And from what I've seen of the first episode Black Lightning might have been good too from a character standpoint if only the action scenes wherent so ridiculously fake and bad.

So please Hollywood, take this from a white guy with no connections to the black community or black culture, please hire more black actors!

Whenever she starts talking.., you cant get enough ..

Lupita looking at Trevor with Lazor eyes, and Trevor can barely manage to look her straight in the face . Lol you can tell he finds her stunning (which she is) and has such a confidence and strength in her presence. Both love them and can't wait to get a sneak peak of his biopic.

At least Trevor didnt freeze when he saw Nakia!!

[kamwele]

Awwwh! And she made Trevor blush! Two legends in the making....

[nisha]

Two amazing Africans. We are proud of you two.

[yusrahadi]

Lupita is such a daring and amazing woman. Damn she makes me proud as a kenyan

[thepolice]

I am embarrassed as a Kenyan to declare that my Kenyan wife has not yet seen this movie. This is very serious. We need to start couples therapy or something...

[gilbertbett]

Our Lupita, we are proud of you as Kenyans and Africans. Good job, eagerly waiting for that movie from the book Born a Crime by Trevor Noah.

Lupita is one goregous and intelligent woman

[diulikadikaday]

I'm a Chinese guy, born in Malaysia and raised and living in New Zealand. So far away from Africa in so many ways.

But I love everything about Black Panther and what it represents. I love how direct it is in celebrating blackness.

The movie is about identity and being proud of who you are without needing to put others down.

[shanhussain]

I'm already hyped for "Born a Crime" the movie!

[taurus]

DOES NO ONE KNOW OF QUEEN OF KATWE? SHE WAS THERE TOO. BEAUTIFUL MOVIE TOO.

[leeolsson]

Love her. So intelligent and well spoken.

[Enheritance]

[eylo]
