Lupita is an amazingly gorgeous and great actress, she is always believable with every character that she plays. Quiet Place, I was flabbergasted; even when she was silent she was amazing ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤
💜💜💜
I remember watching Lupita Nyong’o and Waithaka Gatumia in St. Mary’s, Nairobi, in 2000! Phenomenal!!
Lupita is so freaking gorgeous so I can't fault Trevor for looking at her like that. What I wouldn't give to be on the receiving end of that gaze, though. 🤩
I’m a 50 year old AA male and I have to thank the three of you for being so authentic. The way you spoke about the challenges you faced and how you overcame them. It was refreshing to hear you speak about the way you navigate intersection of your culture and aspirations. <br>I wholeheartedly agree with your sentiment on how black( AA) is seen as inherently bad or inferior and to be white( Caucasian /European ) is good or inherently superior..<br>Thank you for the example!
What a gorgeous desk. They're all so purdy! 😍
Lupita, Kayla, and Trevor thank you for your voices!
I like watching your shows though and this was a very interesting interview with Lupita
Heita Trevor. Have you ever thought of getting Samantha Jansen on your podcast. I don't what your topic would be though but I think you'll think of a topic being creative as you are.
Tanzania is one of the most magical country in the world and we just let it speak for itself. Anyone who has been there or is from there would agree. I live in New York but Tanzania “dar-es-salaam” is dope af
Jesus! This episode is fire 🔥 and didn't know I needed this...
Surely accent is part of integration. So adopting the accent of your new home is part of the transition from your old identity to your new identity. So it should be embraced as part of the immigrant experience
As kenyans, we are taught humility from a very young age. All through my childhood, if someone told me they liked something, I made a comment to make it seem accessible. 'it is a very cheap blouse. You can get it too' kind of vibe. It is just us. If you show off your wealth you are viewed as shallow
Lupita, poise!

Lupita inspires a lot especially the black community and I have introduced my 10years Kenyan daughter who wanna join drama and be in Hollywood ❤<br>Her dreams are valid ❤
Loved this episode truly. As an adoptee from Ghana Africa I truly appreciate the work that you are all doing. There is a lot of conversation to be had amongst us Africans, African Americans and the world and at 25, I am grateful to be in this chapter of history where we are working towards that. Truly beautiful conversation thank you✨
I personnaly dont want to challenge what is african. I dont want to embrace the western ways and values. And lupita will not change that for me.
“The way you sound is a productive of your life experience…the way I sound is representative of my growth.” ❤ wow… so true
How is speaking English using African phonology the correct way to speak English , she must be at sixes and sevens.<br>American english is English <br>Kenyan English is a non-native accents that applies the phonological sounds/rules of kenyan languages.
If you believe that what you’re producing is English, you are remarkably misguided. You are simply layering English vocabulary over the phonology and prosody of a foreign tongue—not to mention that jarring, discordant accent.Frankly, it has about as much in common with English as sauerkraut does.
I'm a white kiwi who's never left NZ, and when I watch stuff like this I kinda feel like I've snuck into the back of a class I'm not supposed to be in. I just love hearing about people's perspectives, everyone's perspectives, everywhere, it's one of the real joys in life.
Love this conversation. ❤😊
who is the Nigerian lady?
lupitaaaa you're nameeee is mexican don't forget!!
Don't drink too much coffee it will give you dementia.
Breastfeeding is ancestral from Africa and America. My mother breastfeed me, and whenever she offered me the baby bottle I threw it out the window as she drove down the road. I wasn't a winner, as a baby, I was pretty intelligent, but as a child all I wanted to do was have fun. As a child I knew early on how to fix electrical appliances when I was about 4 or 5 years old. I learned things quickly, the only thing that made me curious was my dark skin compared to the rest of my family.
Why don't Africans tell lies to Black Americans when they arrive. Then we find out, you have different names and your cards label some of you as white.
Trevor, I had to tap in, because I've met some blue eyed Kenyans and they are the same as the Caucasians or the Arryan race only with dark skin, Nigerians they are very proud people and will take you're head off if you're not in agreement with them. The Congolese are OK but very firm about what they know. The Ethiopians are nice. The South Africans or not Afrikaans they are indigenous Indians mixed with both black amd white add mixture. We all have been had, by Seth, who is the grandfather of the Africans. The west Africans mixed with the Egyptians that escaped the slave trade on the cost of Africa. And what's the real name of that continent it's closer to Mississippi in the gulf of Mexico 🇲🇽 so most of west Africans were already indigenous Indians and those who were close to the Mississippi Alabama coast lines before the continent broke away. I love the intelligence of all Africans, but they need to stop acting as all Americans who are black, colored or mulatto are their enemies. I will remind us all how some of the great took to not only Africa, but Asia for direction, because we knew we had lost apart of heritage and trying to understand what has happened to us all was the direct connections to our Rd fullness as tribal people. We do not all believe the same but that which has brought us here together in America should be questioned.
Watching this a year later, but what a refreshing and beautiful conversation this was. I didn't know about Lupita's struggle with her accent. I have felt and experienced the same things, but listening to her put words to what I felt on a public platform made my feelings legitimate. When se said she had accepted to sound a bit confused I complete understood and related to her cause that is where I have landed now as a Cameroonian who lives in the US. I have stopped justifying myself, I have been gracious to people who just don't understand and explained to those who are curious. I felt it when she said her mother showed her a video of younger her and she could not speak like that anymore because I can't even remember what I sounded like before and it makes me sad sometimes. I feel so much and have so much to say but I thank you Noah, Lupita and Christiana for this beautiful conversation.
I find this conversation so interesting. My dad has been here for 41 years and he still sounds like he came over yesterday, whereas my mom barely has an accent. It’s funny how that works.
Whatt? Starbucks??? Did i hear you right?
I am all the personality traits of all the languages I speak, no matter which I am currently speaking—often colloquially referred to as “extra” 🙃🫠
I think it’s Africa’s time. It’s already blooming but there is a huge tree of flowers yet to bloom.
Am proud to be an African
I love how she pronounces her name with perfect spanish accent
Code switching is a thing.
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OncAEu9sfD8&t=776">12:56</a> Shakira. I wish people in Barranquilla understand this...
Truly,to know someone is to love them. After listening to her here,I love her!!!
Imagine listening to this right now when Ghanians are being evacuated from S.A
Great video! Really enjoyed it.
We need Trevor's skin routine because damn bro. You glowing
Great conversations. Y'all so articulate.
How the hell did I only just find this interview today? I love Lupita
LOVED this conversation between the three of you. I also love the support Lupita has continued to have from her family 💙
Excellent content! 🔥❤️✊🏿
Proud of our girl, you make us proud
Sponsored by starbucks??? Really, Trevor? I see that its a year old episode but still?? Boycotting was stronng then..I hope you stopped,Trevor.I jsut started enjoying your recent conversations and backtracking to old episodes.
I love Lupita’s interview. There’s so much to take away from this interview between being black in America and being raised in Africa & Mexico.
wow, I like the point Lupita made from <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OncAEu9sfD8&t=2500">41:40</a> said " like my default is not to feel unwelcome, my default is to seek welcome and so I don't look for rejection I experience it." This word had been transformative to me inspired to seek for what i need at what whatever cost. Love you Trevor we would love to see you in Kigali.
That issue of your "Kenyannes" being something that cant be taken away from you, is very nuanced because the conversation completely changes when refugees are involved. The division lines start to crop up when narratives like "the Somalis arent Kenyan enough" make their way into public discourse.
SIT DOWN WITH STEVE COOGAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!(should i have started without exlimation?)
Lupita is truly the most beautiful person on the planet right now.
The clarity of articulation and expression in this podcast was immensely enjoyable. All three speakers used a measure of eloquence with their word selection as well as pronunciation. I am ecstatic. >> Book of Nouns.
Indiana white boy here... I loved this interview... yeah im old... i said interview not podcast like these children...lol
Just looking at her before clicking on the video ..... <b>Howwwww is she sooo prettttty I LURVE HER</b> <br>I haven't heard a word yet and this video has literally made my year.
Metal coffee percolators...from my childhood, too!
Lupita is beautiful.
In the USA we tend share more openly depending on which part of the United States you are in. In a more culturally diverse part of the USA people tend to speak more openly about their business. Which I think is necessary when you have a lot of people coming from different ancestry and cultures to have a better understanding of each other, creating more tolerance and empathy which is key to a successful functioning Society. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OncAEu9sfD8&t=1525">25:25</a>
Even within the USA there are so many accidents identifying people as being part of certain groups and come with preconceived notions about them.
Three Africans talking not on how they can change lives through their exposure and blessings but on how great they are. The tep ladies...No! Trevor exhibits more Afticanese than the two. Bragging.
I’m aware that Christiana is a regular contributor on this show but I’m very annoyed that she isn’t credited here. Her name should be in the title alongside Trevor and Lupita. Christiana Mbakwe Medina deserves to have her name in print on YouTube alongside Trevor’s, just because she’s not the main celebrity or guest doesn’t mean she has no value. Sorry, I’m not being picky just to cause drama but I find the whole thing disrespectful.
As you discuss, who invented to home I don’t think any African like Ethiopian <br>Ethiopia proud to all cultures, religion we all African should have that <br>I am proud of you all Go Africa show more educated the people here in America they think Africa is always poor we rich in culture <br>🙏
Lupita's accent is so beautiful. You can still hear it in some of her words, whether it's because she's with people from Africa, or people she feels so comfortable with that she doesn't have to consider it so much I'm. She has an articulation and clarity that is just....amazing, but you can hear the creep a little bit, and it is beautiful. Truthfully, her speaking, the mixtures of where shes been, it's absolutely gorgeous. <br>And she is a beautiful woman regardless. Even taking away her poise and her speaking, her aura and her confidence, her intelligence and drive, her compassion and desire to INCLUDE, and the light that shines within, all those are simply just...enchanting....but even taking away all that and looking at the shell, she is so beautiful, with all that is within, she is so beautiful that it almost hurts my eyes - in a good way.
Lupita mi morena chula ❤ eres mas mexicana que la salsa Roja!!! 😊 loved this episode
America is the land of opportunity
An absolutely incredible conversation. Much love to the 3 of you!
Wow. I loved every minute of this conversation - as a linguist, as a human, and as a fellow podcaster. (I've since subscribed to Lupita's and cannot wait to dive into all of the stories shared there!) Thank you for an hour of fantastic questions, thoughtful answers, and so much to look forward to!

Same here born from Congolese parent's and raised in South Africa in a Jewish community and i speaks French English Hebrew and nobody understands me don't know where I belong. Black called me coconut and white classified me as a black woman with strange accent. I sound mixed up. Sometimes I have to fake the accents to be accepted amongst black. Sometimes I feel more tolerate in the white community. Even with a South African citizenship, black South African will just treat you as a foreigner. I fully understand Lupita, the way you speak and express yourselves and the way you sound is representative of your growth. I cant speak like a Zulu or speak like a lingala. Thanks you so much Lupita. I will also do my best to speak Zulu.
Kenyan people are the most confident people i have ever met. I love Lupitaaaaaa
where does determination / motivation come from?
This podcast offered so many gifts to me. Especially pride and gratitude of who I am. Africa is an endless facet of wealth. I am older than all of you, but thank you for teaching me.
That’s why it’s the land of the free you’re not getting what belong to you rightfully, look at me fighting for what’s already mine
Speaking english with a kenyan accent isn't english<br>Its English words being spouted using speech sounds of a completely different language
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OncAEu9sfD8&t=161">2:41</a> Egypt 🇪🇬❤
As a Swiss living partly in Kenya I truly enjoyed this conversation. Great to know that I learned Spanish in the same country Lupia did: Mexico!
Hey Trevor, I have heard you mention a dozen-plus times you have a good friend who is Trinidadian. Never heard you say his name or if you ever visited our beautiful island. Carnival is around the corner; we would love to have you visit our country and immerse yourself in our culture. Trini here...
Love this. Because I am American Japanese women came to America when i was 29so. My English is still broken and A long time i was ahy and shame.. Wanted to be sounded like native... Guess more like white person and wanted my grammer to be like good. But was a s single mother so busy just working and taking care of kids. Could not fix or learn. But now I def love my accents and broken English hahaha. My kids mimic me still like Trevor. Plus i am not actress. Hearing this conversation made me smile. Sending love energy to you all. 🙏❤️
"you're of the earth, and it's yours to claim" 💜
I adore this podcast but I feel like I'm missing things as they need more backstory. You reference her podcast and certain stories but didn't back up and explain them. I've noticed most of the podcasts you back up (especially if Dave makes you). It tends to be when Trevor is closer to the guests, that you jump right in and I feel like I'm missing subtext. And yes I'm white and I do want to know how you know each other.
Profound, Enlightening. I enjoyed the entire conversation. Nuff respect fram di Jamaican African Diaspora.
Very lively conversation that really does give you a glimpse of how fast we might be experiencing cultural mash-ups, how we might be getting better open experiences however conformity is still fragile - with time our understanding deepens with the thumping resistance of global chaos and environmental changes...
Thank you Lupita for flying that flag so high,we are proud of you 🇰🇪 🇰🇪 🇰🇪
A strong Kenyan right here happy to see Trevor Noah with anyone connected to us, especially the royal Lupita Nyong'o 😂❤<br><br>Lots of love to you three amazing souls
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OncAEu9sfD8&t=985">16:25</a> 😂😂😂😂!!!
Wonderful deep conversation.
The chemistry btwn Trevor & Lupita is palpable ❤
Colonization undermined, even destroyed every culture it took over.
Trevor looks flushed😊 like when speaking to a crush...or i am just ceazy😂😅
Absolutely awesome & heart-warming exchanges. They are the "perfect match" ❤🙏🏼😘
Now Kenyans are like the Americans of Africa
one of the most beautiful conversations about self-identity and belonging
I'd watch a 30min Sham Wow ad if it featured Lupita...
Great discussion all around!<br>I really connected on the coffee/tea + reflection conversation (especially as it pertains to grandparents, etc.,) because, for my entire life, my grandfather has always had a routine where he wakes up at the crack of dawn, heads down to a local cafe or McDonald’s, and hangs out with a couple buddies just chatting over coffee. I think that regular socialization has really made a difference in his overall health and longevity!<br>For cultural context, we are American but ethnically/culturally mixed. My grandfather is Japanese but grew up in Hawaii before it was a state, so he has some Japanese cultural norms + some white American cultural norms** (grandma’s influence and from living on the mainland) + a lot of Hawaiian and Hawaiian-Japanese cultural norms. Speaking of accents, I will have to ask him if his accent has changed…to me, he has always sounded most similar to native Hawaiians, but ai wonder if that has drifted? He certainly used to use words like “kine” far more frequently when I was younger…<br><br>**Grandma was white-white hailing from the Boston area—all English and Irish ancestry on that side going back to the founding of the US; like, we literally have logbooks from the Mayflower that have been passed down through generations.
She's so beautiful ❤
I’m from Ethiopia and had to deal with people trying to fit me into a tidy box or taking away my sense of belonging. I thank all three of you for taking the time to talk about this from a very whole and healthy place. It might seem obvious but is often neglected, and something in me healed listening to this. ❤
