I saw the movie 12 Years A Slave with a girlfriend of mine a while back and was moved by the movie and it’s strong message. After watching Lupita’s speech, I am even more moved with this woman’s enlightened presence on this planet in her lifetime. The embracing of her skin color for younger generations to see their own true beauty was a lesson she is passing on from her own childhood experience. Being comfortable in our own skin can sometimes be a challenge, it’s important to have role models to show our youth that they are beautiful just how God has created them. I applaud her and honor her in all grace and pure light.
