Lupita Nyong’o is currently gracing the cover of Porter and opening up about her struggles in the industry.

The Oscar-winning actress revealed that her natural hair has prompted people to criticize her look and even cost her some gigs.

“My hair is something that, historically, has been shunned. I mean, how often do you hear ‘You can’t get a job with hair like that’?” she said.
