Why Lupita? đ I've trying to understand this. Lupita is partnering with a diamond company with deep roots in colonial extraction across Africa to "empower" African women?
"Even more importantly, my partnership with De Beers allows me to extend my advocacy for women and girls around the world."- Lupita...she forgot this part, "while their fathers, sons, brothers and husbands are continuously forced into the unsafe and illegal mines owned by De Beers to labor and die for the diamonds harvested there."
Iâ m so lost, didn't Lupita Nyongo walk away from the Woman King movieâ¯after learning of the Dahomey kingdomâs links to slavery? If so, why is she ok with DeBeersâ more recent apartheid legacy?
