Lupita Nyong’o Strips Off Her Hollywood Glory And Takes Back To Her Roots In Her Kenyan Tour. This Is The Lupita We All Know (Photos)
News of Lupita Nyong’o’s imminent visit to Kenya hit headlines since last week and as reported early on, the celebrated actress jetted into the country incognito but was spotted at Kempinski where her security reportedly roughed a Standard Group journalist and forced him to delete photos he had taken.
But after days of hiding, Lupita has for the first time revealed she is in the country. Her public appearance comes after blogger Robert Alai criticized her for dodging Kenyans like they are leapers.

Through her social media accounts, Lupita has posted a photo of herself with the caption Hello Kenya.
But it is not the caption that arrested my attention. No. it is how Lupita appears in this photo. In fact she has stripped off her Hollywood glory and appearance and spotted a local one, appearing like the Lupita we used to know before she left for greener pastures.
The latest photo is filter-free, Lupita dons local attire and looks a typical Kenyan girl. Yes, she is more Kenyan than you would imagine.
This girl has not yet forgotten her roots people. She vividly harbours our beliefs and culture.
