Glowing Goddess: Lupita Nyong’o Looks Regal While Promoting ‘Queen Of Katwe’

Someone we actually like… Lupita Nyong’o Stuns While Promoting Queen Of Katwe Lupita Nyong’o was spotted this week once again wearing traditional African garb while promoting “Queen of Katwe.” The actress who plays the mother of chess champion Phiona Mutesi in the film, showed off her slimmy trimmy physique in blue..   and sported crimson heels to set off the ensemble. Lupita’s got a helluva baaaaawdy, no? In addition to being on the promo run, Lupita’s also covering Time Out London and dishing on the film’s all African cast.   The film’s the story of an African chess prodigy and has no white characters. Were you surprised that Disney didn’t want to, say, stick Leonardo DiCaprio in there to make it more ‘palatable’? ‘It’s very refreshing. It’s all thanks to Tendo Nagenda, who is of Ugandan descent and he’s an executive at Disney. He saw the magic in this story, and you know Disney loves magic. It takes people like that – people in positions of power – who are unafraid of the global. Because the world is made up of all sorts of people. We share more than we differ. And this is an African film that demonstrates that.’ All hail Lupita. More photos of this glowing goddess on the flip.

Some We Actually LOVE: Jesse Williams Helping Students Find Scholarships Through Scholly App

A lil positivity… Jesse Williams Becomes Brand Ambassador For Scholly App Jesse Williams is continuing to prove that he’s a man of action and good intentions; this time by helping students find the funds to get educated. The actor and former high school teacher has joined the board of the app Scholly, which match resources to students in need. EBONY reports: Fast forward a few years and it’s easy to see why the devoted activist is the newly tapped brand ambassador for Scholly, the mobile app that matches students with untapped resources to finance higher education. The well-known activist was moved to action once he heard the inspiring story of the company’s founder, Christopher Gray. When The Upload caught up with Gray a few months ago, the Birmingham, Alabama native told us that he raised $1.3 million in scholarships to attend college — but finding the programs and awards required a lot of digging. That’s why he founded Scholly. The social enterprise mobile app was such a hit that he earned a spot on Shark Tank where he ultimately made big deal with super entrepreneurs/hosts Daymond John and Lori Greiner. To date the app has helped students identify, apply and win over $50 million in college scholarships and grants. Now Williams wants to help bring the resources to the masses, so he’s signed on to the company’s advisory board and as Scholly’s Chief Brand Ambassador. Williams shares Gray’s excitement about the joint venture. “I’m proud to announce that I’m joining the Scholly team in our mutual pursuit to help more young Americans pay for college,” he says. “There is no substitute for equal access — there is no substitute for a quality education. Scholly helps us get there, together.” Shout to Activitst Bae for making waves again! WENN
