Lupita Nyong’o came up with the idea for this podcast when she was stuck in traffic and wanted to hear a story from Kenya, where she grew up.

But what’s really interesting is Nyong’o talking about how uncomfortable it felt to lose her accent for the American market, before finding her authentic voice again. Hannah Verdier
