Lupita Nyong'o: 我出生在墨西哥，因为我父亲是政治活动家，他的生命受到威胁，所以我们全家流亡到墨西哥。我父亲为肯尼亚的民主运动而斗争，因此遭到政府的迫害。我的童年是在政治动荡中度过的，但我的父母努力为我们创造稳定的生活环境。在16岁时，我前往墨西哥学习西班牙语，这段经历让我对自我有了新的认识。在美国，我努力学习美式英语口音，以便更好地融入美国演艺圈，但这让我经历了身份认同危机。在肯尼亚，我的种族身份并不那么突出，但在美国，种族成为我生活中重要的一部分。出演《为奴十二年》让我对美国奴隶制历史有了更深刻的理解，也让我对自己的移民身份有了新的认识。获得奥斯卡奖后，我面临着巨大的压力，但我努力保持谦逊和开放的心态，允许自己失败。我的播客节目《Mind Your Own》讲述了来自非洲视角的故事，探讨了归属感的意义。 Dax Shepard: 作为访谈者，Dax Shepard 积极引导 Lupita Nyong'o 分享她的个人经历和观点，并就其演艺事业、身份认同等方面提出问题，促进了访谈内容的深入和展开。他展现了对 Lupita Nyong'o 个人经历的尊重和理解，并就其在不同文化背景下的生活体验进行深入探讨。
