Award winning actress Lupita Amondi Nyong’o shocked many of her fans when she took to her Instagram page to announce that she is joining over 200,000 people who have already signed up for the #Women’sMarch, a peaceful protest against Trump’s presidency.
The women are angry about the way Trump condemned women during the campaign that saw him become the US President.
She made the announcement by posting a powerful photo of late writer Maya Angelou and Gloria Steinem at the Civil Rights March held in August 1983, saying: “You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.” — Maya Angelou
On why she has decided to join the March, she wrote:” I have decided to join the March because I have decided not to be reduced by any events, social or political, that aim to rob me of my dignity.”
The protest will hold today in Washington.
