“I don’t think any one person does it. I think it’s the movement of lots of individuals coming together at one time,” Lupita expressed, referring to if her career is paving the way for a more diverse Hollywood (via RedEye). “It’s a convergence of intention, you know? So I certainly hope that me being around and working is changing something, shifting something, but I don’t think I can claim the power of being able to shift an entire industry. We are about to open Queen of Katwe across America, I think that is a major change.”
