So interesting and eyeopening, now I understand some of my struggles as a Mexican married to an Egyptian and living in Egypt... how somehow it feels when you are loosing your own language to be able to complete learn Egyptian Arabic, and the struggles of my litte son learning, spanish, english and arabic at the same time.... he never sounds egyptian enough or mexican enoguh.
It was a beautiful episode. I loved the overall emphasis on the significance of belonging-even if it was not intentional, it seemed so. I would love to see a different coffee sponsor :-) and possibly different chat rooms-one for the fan love, one for the folks who seem to want to challenge and critique others, and one for folks engaging with the topics being discussed.
Still can't do a Trini accent 🤭what's amazing about this conversation is the commonality of the immigrant experience - losing and finding yourself and what your identity was and now is.. I've only just made peace with my evolved accent myself. Too American for Trinidad and too Trinidadian for America.
I love these type of organic and transparent conversations on this podcast, rather than the gossip mill type of podcast. Ms. Nyong'o is so elegant, articulate and stunningly gorgeous all at once... rare...
“An African podcast!!!” ❤❤❤ Thank you for such a rich, thought provoking and fun conversations. As an Ethiopian-American watching/listening from Ethiopia, it was such a great pleasure. And need I dare say “the best Africans” are Ethiopians!
@@carazen same, I’m Trini/American, New York Born, but my mom is from the Gullah-Geechie islands of South Carolina (which has a whole other dialect) the accent code switch is real. I find all 3 of my accent change depending on who I’m around. lol! 😂 With all those dialects, folks just assume I’m Jamaican. I’ve gotten use to it. But it is an educational moment. 😂😂
Thank you so much! I thoroughly enjoyed listening to your conversations! I am an Asian American and what you talk about I can relate to so much about it, too! We are just human beings. I love that you have mentioned that your accent is an accumulation of your experiences. There is no shame for having different accents. This is a very thought-provoking conversation. Thank you!
I am so glad to see an appreciation of Africaness by Africans. It’s so uncommon to see talented people expand the options in the Podcast medium. Lupita’s and Trevor’s backgrounds are so different and expansive. They are truly global characters.
This Pod Makes Me Proud to be African. ❤ And to add to What Trevor Says to Lupita jokingly about being free, that's so true about my Kenyan Experience. We are so free without even realising it until someone points out.
Excellent conversation. I 100% relate to Trevor's friend saying "I wish I had a home." As an African American who grew up as a military dependent, then joined the military myself and have traveled around the world and lived in the US mainland, literally from California to New York, in the South and Southwest, I've always been the outsider. As an adult, I now live in the Caribbean. I was trying to explain a Caribbean friend, that as an African American I don't "belong" anywhere. America doesn't want nor value me. Africans, that I've come in contact with, always remind me, I'm not really African. The people from the Caribbean, both in the US and those in their island nations, remind me I'm a 'state-sider'. So where do I belong? As the man said, "I wish I had a home."
This is such a very fascinating conversation. It very much resonates with me as a Black American (descendant of slavery) who had one style of speaking around family and another when attending Catholic school in the Midwest during the 60s.
@@nkululekomabaso1629 Carribs do the same thing when we got gossip or deeply agree with something. Funny how our tribes all seem to connect. I love that for us!
Great conversation. Totally agree about learning new languages. Survival is a great motivator. It is fun to have different expressions of ourselves through multiple languages :)
Thank you so much for this platform and reminding me of my Africaness and the profound way Lupita expressed her not expecting or accepting the rejection or the insane racism of America God Bless
Loving the work you guys are doing out there in the world. You're making Africans proud and understood. Keep up the good work Trevor and Lupita!! Love from Kenya. ❤
The best episode so far, Trevor ! I love Lupita and could listen to her all day. Her new podcast is a breath of fresh air ! So relaxing to listen : an adult story time. The accents are rich and beautiful, and I feel I am getting to know Lupita better, but also to understand the amazing diversity of African people.
Thank you so much for having this conversation I’m moving into my identity I feel like I need to have more conversations like these ❤ thank you for making my day brighter 🥰
“I moved through the world with a disbelief that I’m unwelcome.” Wow! That’s what I want to raise my son to believe😮 Shucks, I want to believe that for myself.
So refreshing conversation ! Two wonderful African beautiful Ladies! Always very very refreshing presence. ❤ Lupita thanks for putting your narrative so well. Thank goodness for our belonging. This will save us in the long run. Peace to the people! Thank you 🎉
Amazing women. Interesting innerstsnding of the nation of African identity which is multifaceted and reflective of each one of us life path. Lupita is so inspirational
This was a good episode and Lupita’s podcast is great, it’s nice hearing the story times. Lupita is multifaceted and an interesting person. It was good hearing all the Africans together, they just needed a North Central African to have all sided of the continent covered in conversation, they has East, South and West Africans and it was interesting.
As an actress I really like the accent comment because throughout acting school in the UK, I was confident to do scenes in my West African accent and American accent. Lupita is an inspiration
My response to the early conversation about not wanting to loose your African identity, is to say - welcome to Blackness! Today's American descendants of enslaved Africans, are in a particular sense, the most free people, in the world. We can easily take on whatever identity we wish, because we lost our original identity, as a result of being captured, sold, and enslaved. We are a new people, and so we are not fully wedded to any of the identities, we have grown into, or taken on, since enslavement. That freedom comes with a cost. We don't share the same values, too often not even on the most fundamental level. Thus many of our communities have been dysfunctional, for some time now. That is how so many of us can talk of community policing, and be thinking of respectful and lawful policing, of our communities, by police departments, and not the community policing itself. This lack of self-policing is a significant reason for the over-policing, so many of us wail against. The first level of policing are the values people hold, and the standards they set, for the communities they live in. Part of this lack of common recognition and valuing of basic values and standards, is because of modernity. The impact of modernity on how we relate to one another can easily be seen, in the change in the relationship between males and females. Woman no longer need to depend on the greater strength of the male, to survive. They can generally live comfortably, without needing a man to the degree, that was necessary traditionally. Many men, have had a difficult time adjusting to the degree of independence woman have had relatively recently. One thing that people from old traditional cultures must be leery of, is the impact of youth/adolescent/consumer/pop-culture. It has long now rivaled, and in many cases supplanted the parent, as the major influence on children, for many families in modern societies of the West. Parents lose their position as the major influence much earlier now, even as the term peer-pressure is very old, in these societies. One can easily see how Hip-Hop "culture" has supplanted Black music in general, The Black Church, and the Civil Rights & Black Power Movements, as the face of Black -culture to the world. In celebrating it's 50th anniversary Hip-Hop has said it changed the world, yet it has not changed the communities it came out of, and those like it , for the better. So much for keeping it real, and not believing the hype. Need I mention being woke? Black-Americans have it bad enough that our, White liberal allies, won't call us out on our self-destructive actions, nor the senseless idealistic rhetoric like defunding and abolishing police and prisons makes it worse. How has talk of that been received by the demographic among us, who traditionally has engaged in this high level of self-destruction, that Hip-Hop even once condemned? They have ratcheted-up their anti-social and violent criminal behavior, only making it harder for Black politicians and activists, to make their case against the government and society. Where is the idealistic appeal to Black people ourselves? Where is the challenge from us to us, to live up to our claims of being spiritual, resilient, creative, some even say magical people? How can you appeal, if not make verbal demands, to those who you have little to no power over, to do things for you, that you need, but won't make similar demands to yourself, to do things that are within your power, that will help you? This is the contradictory problem, with woke, and if African-immigrants or any group, are aligned with us, they should not be the enablers that we ourselves have become to ourselves. Please don't take the position that all of Black-Americans or African-Americans problems, are the result of the external forces of racism, in all its forms, otherwise referred to many of us as systemic and structural racism, and the misnomer White-supremacy, which really is a degree of White-hegemony. Don't say calling it out and having expectations from, us is practicing "respectability politics". This is all woke rhetoric that most Black most of us, are not aligned with. We thus have been a silent majority, to our own detriment. Let no one twist this as some nod for Black people to support Trump and Republicans, in the coming elections. This is just the in house work, we must do, to get ourselves, in order. I ask this of you, in all sincerity speaking only as one individual. We African/Black -Americans, have often said that we are a people of the oral tradition. If that is true, words should matter more to us, than what it seems to me they do, based on the ones we have been using, especially today. It seem it is fashionable among the woke to say that someone is "authentic". That traditionally has been used in reference to things. Is not what is really being expressed when they use this term, is that someone is sincere/truthful? Does this misuse of words reflect something subconscious, in the thinking of those who do this? Could they have an orientation to things, more so than to people. Is this one of those negative aspects, that modernity has brought with it? If this is real, can we make a conscious effort to guard ourselves against being conditioned to this kind of mindset? What do words like f-you & mf -fer, conjure up, into our minds, when we use them? They are among the most hateful and vile expressions, we can project. When it comes to speech, accent may be the least of an immigrant's worries, when assimilating into this society/culture.
Lovely discussion!!! So relatable, watching from South Africa Xhosa in Johannesburg. Having done some traveling you just made me want to travel some more now…Africans rocks, but the world is your oyster 🙌🏽
That is the first question I ask in trying to understand America- what is America and American culture? Coming to NY and seeing people maintaining their culture in their community allows me to just be myself however moving to Atlanta, GA was different. It’s like a different America where people have issues with accent and don’t even know they have an accent too.
I saved it to listen to later, more carefully and calmly. but from now on I would like to publicly demand the series about the book 'Born a Crime'. please make this dream come true! and come to Brazil! 😢🇧🇷♥️
❤ really enjoyed podcast. 💡But one thing Lupita Nyong’o said may have really hit home! stated people from African countries do not freely share personal stories. African Americans doing genealogy of Family History, become frustrated our ancestors didn’t share personal stories. felt it was shame of Slavery & Jim Crow. Ancestors reticent to share negative, but hearing the agreement of todays speakers, it could also be a trait that has been passed down unknowingly. 🙏🏽Thank You for different perspective!
As a Trinidadian, I speak like a Trini all the time. I often have to speak slower than usual and avoid using Trini slang, but I never change my accent. I love being Caribbean, and I want everyone to know that I'm a West Indian woman.

And need I dare say “the best Africans” are Ethiopians!
Three beautiful people, intelligent and well-spoken, having a chat ... who wouldn't want to be part of that?
Lupita, what a grounded, articulate, and ridiculously beautiful person. I love your interviews, Trevor. The best.
Two of my favorite people Lupita & Trevor
I’m a Trinidadian in Quebec and my accent comes out when I speak French. For the most part they find it cute. I’ve embraced it.

Watching from Kenya. My Take home from this is, how much impact grounded parents can have on a child's confidence through life. Awesome stuff!!
Oh Lupita. Listening to you ensures me I am on the right track. There is so much you shared that resonates. Thank you. You are an amazing human being!
He looks at her with such fondness 😊
Its unmistakable the admiration that Trevor has for Lupita, you can see how his face lights up.

Yaye! Representing Kenya and Africa. Kudos
That BlackPanther dialect "committee" story is so beautiful! Before this, I did not know they were friends. This is so cool.
From Zambia....living in CA. Loved every ounce of this conversations
I have kept my Zambian accent loved. I have been in the USA for 16 years. I will hold on tight to my accent ❤

Excellent dialogue!
This can be so Caribbean as well!!!👌🏾❤️🎶🎶🌞🇹🇹
Your discussion on duality and people’s ability to both strive for acceptance in different countries is inspiring
Very inspirational! May you continue to shine much much more! Blessings

The way Trevor built that “where do you get the from” question was a masterclass in interviewing. The build up was flawless😢
