On June 25, 2020, Lupita Nyong'o made history by becoming the first African woman to narrate a documentary for Go Discovery. The documentary, which showcases the Serengeti, features Lupita's voice and has been well-received by fans and critics alike.
According to a post shared on her Instagram account, Lupita shared a snippet of the video, where she did a perfect narration of the documentary that showed how elephants are always determined to stick together.
"I was drawn to narrating #Serengeti: I had never heard a nature documentary narrated by a woman, let alone an African one! Here is one of the most moving scenes from the series that shows a herd of elephants determined to stick together," she wrote.
Many of her fans took to the comment section to congratulate the Kenyan-born beauty for the good work. Others thanked Go Discovery for choosing the best narrator to deliver the very emotional piece.
