Oscar-winning actress Lupita Nyong'o has launched a podcast in which she narrates her life at home and abroad. Of course, Lupita has narrated many tales, including reading her children's book, Sulwe, for an audio book. What's distinct is that Lupita is doing it in her Kenyan accent.

Again, one might be tempted to ask what sort of voice Lupita has been using in her record-smashing film roles, such as 12 Years a Slave, or even Black Panther that utilises science fiction to reinvent Africa in American imagination.
