Lupita Nyong’o Is Voting In The US For The Very First Time, And For Kamala Harris

Buy Me A Coffee

Lupita Nyong’o is stepping into the ring… or rather, the voting booth, for the very first time! Yes, that’s right, the fierce Black Panther actress just announced she’s joining the democratic dance-off, and trust me, she’s got the moves.

On Friday, August 30th, Lupita took to social media — because where else do you make life-changing announcements? In a letter? — and dropped the bombshell that she’ll be voting in the upcoming 2024 U.S. presidential election. And no, this isn’t some sequel to Black Panther where Wakanda takes over America, but honestly, how cool would that be?

Now, if you’re sitting there thinking, “Wait, Lupita’s never voted before?! What kind of conspiracy is this?!” Calm your vibranium, guys. Lupita explained the reason for her voting virginity — cue dramatic music — it wasn’t her fault! She’s simply been “in the wrong country at the wrong time.” I mean, can you imagine being ready to vote, ballot in hand, only to realize, “Oh snap, I’m in Kenya!” Happens to the best of us.

But hold the phone, because 2024 is different, people. This year, Lupita’s ready to bust out that ballot like it’s an Oscar-winning performance. She’s especially hyped because she gets to vote for a Black woman — yep, she’s throwing her support behind Kamala Harris! In an Instagram video — filmed while casually hiking, because of course she’s effortlessly hiking — Lupita spilled her heart out to her followers.

“I have a confession to make. I have never voted,” she said. Gasp! But before you clutch your pearls, she added, “Not because I didn’t want to, but because I was never eligible.” Oh, the suspense! The twists! The drama! It’s like a political soap opera.

She further elaborated in the caption, confessing to her fans that she’s about to pop her voting cherry: “I’m voting for THE VERY FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE.” Yes, she even threw in all caps because it’s just that monumental.

Why hasn’t she voted in her homeland of Kenya? Well, apparently, Kenya’s voting system wasn’t down with the whole absentee thing. So she’s been sitting on the electoral sidelines, waiting for her moment to shine. But don’t worry, Lupita’s about to go full American now — new citizen, new voter, new chapter!

And let me tell you, she’s pumped. “I am very excited and honored,” she gushed, before dubbing herself a “Virgin Voter.” That’s right, Lupita just gave herself the coolest nickname since Warrior of Wakanda. She even called out to other Virgin Voters, uniting them like they’re some kind of secret club. Maybe they’ll have matching jackets?

But wait, there’s more! In a rallying cry to all you seasoned voters out there, Lupita kindly requests you share your ancient voting wisdom with the newbies. Like a sensei guiding a grasshopper. “Take us virgin voters with you to the polls,” she said, because, obviously, it’s a buddy system situation now. And once she votes? Oh, she’s not looking back. No way, no how.

Lupita Nyong’o, the once-reluctant voter, is now leading the charge for democracy, and she’s doing it with style, grace, and a dash of Wakandan warrior spirit. Look out, world. Virgin Voters are coming, and they mean business.
