Because of them We Can

Because of Them We Can by Eunique Jones with Alice Jacobs and 5 others

Lupita Nyong'o is the embodiment of three words - Black is Beautiful. She is the first Black African to win an Academy Award and the first Black ambassador for the luxury beauty brand, Lancôme. In a world where the skin-whitening industry is a multi-billion dollar business, bent on making beauty synonymous with light skin, Lupita Nyong'o's unaltered image, confidence and success is a much needed example for women and young girls across the globe.
