Lupita Nyong’o Reveals Why She Turned Down Roles After Her Oscar Win

As someone who’s followed Lupita Nyong’o’s career closely, I was really fascinated by what she recently shared. It’s been over ten years since she won that incredible Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her very first film, 12 Years a Slave, and she’s been talking about how she chooses projects now. She opened up about turning down roles after that breakthrough, and it really speaks to her intentionality as an artist – she’s clearly very thoughtful about the stories she wants to tell and the impact she wants to make.
