She may have won an Oscar for her first film role, but Lupita Nyong\u2019o spent the early part of her life hiding her desire to be an actor. Lupita tells Marc about growing up under autocratic rule, living in a country where creative voices were suppressed, and learning how to speak out even when it\u2019s risky.
