'This MeToo time, this TimesUp time is about allowing for more equitable representation,' said Lupita_Nyongo
"This Me Too [time], this Time's Up — is about allowing for more equitable representation," said Lupita Nyong'o at the Actress Roundtable. "I am benefiting from the efforts of a lot of other women who have come before me, other black women who have come before me, who have had it a lot rougher than I have. I'm aware of that.
"This is a time where there's a concerted effort to consider diversity and inclusion," Nyong'o added. "What I really want is for it to not be a fad, not be a trend. Right now, it's really dope and cool and on trend to work with women and underrepresented groups, but I think the moment of maturity in the industry is when it is just the norm.", where she played both the hero and the villain.
"Every time I work, I wonder whether I have what it takes to do that particular role," Nyong'o told the roundtable. "We're in a business where we're always starting again. You start with ignorance with every role. The preparation is about moving from that ignorance to hopefully a sense of expertise by the time the film wraps.". She also earned a Golden Globe nomination for the role.
