.Lupita_Nyongo's new children's book sends an important message.
actress briefly explained how the book parallels moments from her childhood and why she considers it a"liberal autobiography."
"I would pray to God every night for lighter skin, because my mom told me God performs miracles," she told host."So I thought, 'Oh! Well, here's one for me: give me some light skin.' Like, I had a younger sister who's much lighter, and so, every morning, I would wake up and run to the mirror and see whether he answered my prayer. And I would always be so disappointed, and so that's one of the things that Sulwe does in this book.
