Lupita Nyong'o says her upcoming podcast, “Mind Your Own”, is set to start this September.
Nyong’o says she has been working on the podcast for five years. It will be broadcast on Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music and Spotify.
In a post on Instagram, Nyong’o revealed that this podcast is a storytelling show that will feature stories from the African perspective.
“Forget about the hot button, newsworthy stories that you are used to hearing from the Continent! This show is about the personal, intimate, individual and quirky stories that give light to who we are as Africans today,” said the model.
The actress also shared that she created “Mind Your Own” because she wanted to hear stories from other African people who are also navigating more than one world that they consider home like her.
“It’s also for anybody who has ever felt alien in one way or another; for everyone considering what it really means to belong,” she added.
In a snippet video, Nyong’o also said that in each episode of the podcast, she will also be telling stories from her personal life. Things that she has not shared with anyone before.
“This week, I announced my new podcast, MIND YOUR OWN. It is the most personal and revealing project I have ever created! (Insert pride, excitement and nerves here!). So here’s a video to help get you in the zone of what you can expect to hear from this new storytelling show.
