Lupita Nyong'o is a beauty icon. The actress of Kenyan heritage has heralded her natural coily hair texture both on magazine covers and at events. She has become known for gracing the red carpet with natural hairstyles diverse as they are beautiful. She is a champion for embracing natural black hair and turning back the hand on its negative stereotypes. In an industry which champions a more Caucasian aesthetic, Lupita stance has helped give those of a black heritage a positive role model that they can identify with. Today I celebrate her not only as a positive role model but also a personal who will long be looked at as a beauty icon.
