Lupita Nyong’o biography
Lupita Nyong’o is a Kenyan-Mexican author and actor. She is the author of the picture book Sulwe, which was published by Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers in 2019. Sulwe tells the story of a young girl who wishes for her skin to be lighter and explores themes of colourism and self-acceptance. The book features illustrations by Vashti Harrison.
Nyong’o wrote Sulwe drawing on her own experiences and has spoken about the importance of representation in children’s literature. The book has been recognised with several honours, including winning the Coretta Scott King Illustrator Honor in 2020.
In addition to her work as an author, Nyong’o is known for her career in film and theatre. She has received various accolades for her acting, but her debut as a children’s author with Sulwe in 2019 marked a significant milestone in her literary career.
