Lupita Nyong’o Instagram – I deeply love my mother. She is my closest friend and my number one champion. Today is her birthday. She was a baby once upon a time. She was a child once upon a time. I didn’t know her back then (obvs!); when I met her when she was an adult, I thought she knew everything. Now that I am older, now that I am an adult myself, I know that she too is figuring things out as she goes through her one gifted life.
But my mother has known a love that surpasses all understanding and she has shared it with us. She has taught me that the most rewarding thing to know, to pursue, is love. At a time when I am terrified to make that principle my north star, I am reassured by the bounty of her love and generous spirit. May I grow to be half the woman she is. #BirthdayTribute | Posted on 22/Dec/2023 21:31:32
