So inspiring! I'm a dark skin girl in Dallas Texas! I have a mixed best friend and guys flock to her light skin and green eyes and they don't look at me twice, but these two make me feel beautiful 😪😂 I'm crying now.
Lupita said something that was very true. Alek's beauty is unapologetic. No one should be ashamed of the way they came into this world. Only bigots, who berate people who are not like them are the ones to be shamed.
Africa is in the process of changing, #Ethiopia is a great example of that! Credit to our belved leader #MelesZenawi ! Africans our time of greatness is near!
This is a sad day for racists, and a good day for everyone else. This young lady has a serene beautiful personality and she is beautiful! I admire her grace!
Lupita has beautiful face, Alex is very striking and has a high fashion face and body. I love their dark skin, it's so tone, and glowing. Some people seem to think Alex is ugly, to me her face is so unique.
Alek Wek was the epitome of grace, elegance and poise when I was coming up as a young woman. There was absolutely no way to achieve her level of beauty for most of us. But she helped us understand that after all beauty is not just in the eyes of the beholder but also in the eyes of the beauty. Her eyes say that she knows she is beautiful, and that it’s not up for debate.
I grew up w/Alek Wek as an icon. She rose up even after Naomi's dark skinned, weaved gorgeous goddess-ness. Respect for that. I think she was someone's muse that helped many young African girls. I am always always am inspired by awesome Lupita. Thank you god for both of them to grace this earth & inspire us to look at the ridiculous, unfair & political beauty standards.
Oh!!! JUST BEAUTIFUL!!!!! They're both beautifully dark! Such beauty needs to be seen! I love African women. They're such an outstanding gift! Africans in general are so beautiful. The world's most unique race! ♥♥♥♥♥
TheSachajacksonWell, I find them to be the most unique race. :) That skin color? No one can rock it like they can or the hair!! I love black people so much! ^^ we should all love blacks as much as any other race. ^_^ they've been mistreated for sooo long (and still to this day) ONLY becuase of their skin color. It's so unfair... (_ _) (T^T)
TheSachajackson I know. :) I wasn't saying anything bad about you or about you saying anything about their skin color. ^^ just felt like saying something about Beautiful black people. No disrespect. ^_^
+kurtdublin The people who choose Alek Wek were very prominent in the fashion industry , they saw Alek's potential right from the start , a face of her own ( she aint no Naomi Campbell ) a super slender body of her own too ( no restrictive diet ) , she really belongs to high fashion , she is what professional photgraphers look for : a striking model
That was just beautiful. I love how they can embrace and find the beauty in our dark skin despite the picture society has painted of us as being hideous. True confidence.
That's amazing. Reading your comment as I scan UA-cam from Oakland, CA (USA) it's just amazing to realize the TRUTH that's coming thru via sites like UA-cam. Understanding all the BENEFITS of dark skin has been eye-opening and learning the benefits of dark colored fruits and vegetables and plants, etc just forms a fabric of consistency. NOW I truly do believe the CREATOR is this DARK INFINITE BEING with helix hair. And of course we all know how his son was mistreated and now I know that race(=LOOKS) had to play a part in that especially when one considers the Romans overrunning the land. Wow, It's time for TRUTH TO PREVAIL and justice to become the way. Alek and Lupita are beautiful and good to see in 2014. Not long ago we wouldn't have the opportunity to see them in AMERICA, the anagram: I AM RACE. So it has been. Shalom.
This is so amazing and so important. I almost cry thinking about how significant this really is and how much this means to millions of little girls and boys around the world. Black truly is beautiful.
I'm GAGGING! I've been an Alek Wek STAN since I was younger, she's like a walking piece of artwork. And Lupita?! Omg, I can't breathe. This clip gives me Mother of Earth, art gallery, regal vibes all in one. I hope one day the world of the arts will be flooded with darker shaded Women.
Lupita Nyong'o and Alek Wek are so inspiring. I remember looking at the fashion magazines and seeing the Alek and thinking how stunning she is. Now, I'm saying the same about Lupita. #beauty #ns
She's Dinka from Southern Sudan, they're the tallest people in the world. Lupita is Luo and are also very related to Dinkas. Luos originally migrated from Southern Sudan through Uganda into Kenya.
Gibbs Jakatiga am luo and am shilluk i understand like kenyan luo and some words are very similar and dinkas are not apart of the luo people for example luol deng miami heat SF NBA
Kyyng YaHeard you got it twisted darling, Luol Deng is dinka and there is no big difference between the luo in south sudan and the one that migrated to kenya and Uganda,Dinkas and Luos understand each other,only the accent that is difference
We have a tendency to view people through a eurocentric lens,but it is so refreshing to see these women who are undeniably stunningly beautiful goddesses!
I admire them equally, for their talents and being role models for both young and old. As Alex said, "we all inspire each other" and in doing so, this transcends to other people. Nuff said!
She is a living version of a goddess I used to draw as a kid. She is, in my opinion, the most beautiful woman alive both for her physical beauty and her mind.
I love her quote, "that's the beauty about being in the public eye, you can affect and inspire other people without knowing it...your work is done and you have no idea" - Lupita Nyong'o. POWERFUL! Like Iyanla Vanzant once said, "how you show up matter". The Bible says that "we are walking epistles being read of men daily". How we present ourselves and how people see us can truly make a difference. Love inspired people, inspiring other! God's love and blessings!!!
This is beautiful. This type of uplifting conversation is what we need to see more of in the media and everywhere else! I'm so tired of seeing junk all the time!!! Wonderful wonderful ladies!
Looking at these 2 gorgeous women made me so proud to be the product of pure black love. These ladies have the most flawless skin that shines so bright that I couldn't take my eyes off of them and had to play the video again. Everyone should be proud to be who they are and not let anyone define them. Alek is stunning but Lupita is the most beautiful woman I have ever laid my eyes upon. She's amazingly beautiful inside and out. My 5 year old daughter and 2 year old son will be seeing a lot of these 2 ladies so they can learn about true beauty.
+TheWonderfulKushites Enjoy your pure black skin and beauty ! I love to see flawless and soft black skin from the fairest to the darkest tones , those skins doenst neek make up or just a touch of lipstick
Beautiful, our culture actually says that dark is very beautiful! i glad i was born dark, has always felt beautiful because in my country we embrace it and they say it many times that dark is very beautiful!
Lupita's face is just absolutely stunning! So symmetrical with the features well balanced and fit so well together. She pulls of the African woman look so well without even trying. seriously i can see why she was on the magazine... :D ...as for alek... ...*sigh*
what a beautiful conversational moment. only ppl w a brain and commonsense will see it ...the halfwitted people w a head just for a hat rack will have NO clue as to the import of that meeting & the topic of the discussion between these two beautiful women. #beautiful inside and out #internal beauty beams forth like a bright light (:
This is why representation is SO IMPORTANT in media!!!Even though they're in different fields Alek inspired a generation of young black girls to love themselves for who they are and to go for their dreams. Now the baton is being passed on to girls like Lupita to do the same for little dark-skinned girls everywhere and...😢 sorry...*👃sniff sniff* We need to see more of this in our media!!Beautiful to see!!! #blackgirlsrock
Lupita is absolutely stunning
Micheala lynch Isn't she?! We're big fans
Alek Wek is absolutely beautiful
Two of the most beautiful women in the world! So classy and elegant. These are who young girls should be looking up to instead of Kim Kardashian.
Right
Gabriellah Italy well said man.
....but again, if only they were light skinned they would be able to beat the Kardashians.
#theironycontinues
What? Lol
Only the ones who have lost all self-respect n become harlots will continue looking up to Kim.
So inspiring! I'm a dark skin girl in Dallas Texas! I have a mixed best friend and guys flock to her light skin and green eyes and they don't look at me twice, but these two make me feel beautiful 😪😂 I'm crying now.

Proud to be African, the origin of Humanity!
Me too.

Emma D u bet
That theory is debunked
They are both two very beautiful, classy black women!
This is a sad day for racists, and a good day for everyone else. This young lady has a serene beautiful personality and she is beautiful! I admire her grace!
Lupita has beautiful face, Alex is very striking and has a high fashion face and body. I love their dark skin, it's so tone, and glowing. Some people seem to think Alex is ugly, to me her face is so unique.
I think so too!
+samiir jackson lupita is kenyan isnt she?
Shoot a Star I know this is late but she is actually Mexican
Mahificent What irrelevant idiot thinks she's ugly, she's gorgeous
Jelly Kid she's kenyan and has some Mexican in her

I agree 100%!
Right?! :D and thanks for agreeing, haha! ^^
TheSachajackson and now the entire world knows you're racist and a bigot. Good job. Smh

Black is beautiful and don't crack :)
That's the truth
Yep! Can you believe Lupita is 31 and Alek Wek is 37? I thought they were both in their 20s!
Wow they are just timeless beauty love them
I believe Lupita is the "wave of change" as far as defining beauty by skin tone:) It's a touch subject but its the truth!
This is so amazing and so important. I almost cry thinking about how significant this really is and how much this means to millions of little girls and boys around the world. Black truly is beautiful.
Lupita is gorgeous ... I'm captivated by her beauty. That type of beauty is a God given gift, hopefully one day she uses it for His glory!
Alek Wek is one of my favorite models, and Lupita Nyong'o is one of my favorite fashion icons. It is such a lovely thing to see them with each other!
yayyy so happy to see black women complimenting and inspiring each other. alek wek makes me proud to be south sudanese.
I'm GAGGING! I've been an Alek Wek STAN since I was younger, she's like a walking piece of artwork. And Lupita?! Omg, I can't breathe. This clip gives me Mother of Earth, art gallery, regal vibes all in one. I hope one day the world of the arts will be flooded with darker shaded Women.
So much beauty, class, poise and well spokenness!
whoever it is that designs for Lupita just always gets it right, I mean the touch of skin on that top is so elegant... #TeamNyongo
pure, authentic, natural. My heart melts when I see these ladies.
Alek is so elegant
Lupita Nyong'o and Alek Wek are so inspiring. I remember looking at the fashion magazines and seeing the Alek and thinking how stunning she is. Now, I'm saying the same about Lupita. #beauty #ns
Nothing compares to Lupita, she is beauty personified.
I can honestly say that I think Lupita is in the top 5 of most beautiful women in the world.
WOW, just WOW!!! Alek & Lupita's beauty is ASTONISHING, STRIKING, & so NATURAL & AUTHENTIC!!! I'm in such awe of them both!!!
Both of them are absolutely stunning.
Lupita is so beautiful it hurts
My gosh, Alek is tall. When she stood I was like O.O

Lupita is small though. 5 feet...at most.

We have a tendency to view people through a eurocentric lens,but it is so refreshing to see these women who are undeniably stunningly beautiful goddesses!
Oh Lupita so beautiful and graceful and elegant. I love her ❤
I love love Lupita... she is changing the game for many sisters. Embrace your skin, color and natural features.
Lupita is my favorite actress and style icon. She is elegance embodied. :)
What a beautiful significant moment. *teary eyed*
I admire them equally, for their talents and being role models for both young and old. As Alex said, "we all inspire each other" and in doing so, this transcends to other people. Nuff said!
Examples of beauty on the inside and out!!! Love this piece.
Lupita is wonderfully eloquent as well!
Beauty... And....Character... Let that marinate in your heart and mind for a minute.... LOVE THAT STATEMENT !!!!
No chance to ruin that girl, she's gorgeous from inside and out! I hope she'll keep on making her way!
She is a living version of a goddess I used to draw as a kid. She is, in my opinion, the most beautiful woman alive both for her physical beauty and her mind.
