OWN Spotlight: Oprah At Home with Lupita Nyong'o and Cynthia Erivo Episódio 13

Oprah Winfrey sits down one-on-one with the award winning actresses Lupita Nyong'o and Cynthia Erivo. Winfrey and Oscar winning actress Lupita Nyong'o discuss colorism in Hollywood and if it still exists. Nyongo's newest project is her children's book "Sulwe," which features a 5-year-old girl who has the darkest skin color in her family. The picture book inspires children to love their uniqueness and to discover that beauty comes from within. Nyong'o also opens up about thriving in an industry she feels was not made for her, speaks about her critically acclaimed starring role in Jordan Peele's "Us," and shares her experience winning "Best Supporting Actress" for her performance in "12 Years a Slave" at the Academy Awards in 2014. Then, award-winning actress Cynthia Erivo joins Oprah to talk about her starring role in the upcoming film, "Harriet." Erivo discusses her preparation to play Harriet—on a physical and spiritual level as well as the controversy surrounding her casting in the role.
