When she graduated from high school, she decided to move to the United States of America to
follow her dreams of becoming an actress. She was cast in her first American film, East River,
in 2008. She went on to write, produce and star in a number of films, including Black Panther
and 12 Days a Slave, for which she won the 2013 Academy Award for Best Supporting

first ever Kenyan and/or Mexican woman to win the award. Amazing ‘eh?!
