Oscars 2014: Lupita Nyong’o's Emotional Acceptance Speech is soo Inspiring! (Video)

Lupita will always be remembered for making Africa so proud last night after she won an Oscar, Best Supporting Actress in the movie “12 Years A Slave” where she played a role as Patsey, a favored but abused slave. This made her the 7th Black woman ever to receive an Oscar.

In her very emotional acceptance speech, which is a must see if you are yet to see it, Lupita reminded viewers that there’s a long history behind how she got to that stage. And in a tear-jerking conclusion, she expressed her wish that her unknown-to-Oscars trajectory would inspire someone watching at home to go for it — because, as she explained: “No matter where you’re from, your dreams are valid.”

Lupita is a beauty!!! Congratulations, gurl.
