While in Kisumu for her Vogue Octorber 2016 cover shoot, Lupita Nyong’o stopped by her parents’ home for a walk through their farm with her father, to climb guava trees, tell stories, and to learn to cook ugali with her mother—just a year prior to the visit the Oscar-winning actress made national Kenyan news when she revealed that she did not know how to make the local staple. Director Lotfy Nathan helps her set the record straight.

With her personality it's impossible to dislike her. She's so down to earth.

As a fellow Kenyan, this is very authentic. She didn't take vogue to her condo in NYC, she took them to rural Kenya. Wow!
