Lupita Nyong’o in The Vagina Monologues 2003
“The Vagina Monologues” is a compilation of women’s experiences discussing their vaginas. The brainchild of Eve Ensler, it has been both a book and a one-woman show. Later, Ensler revamped the format to feature three women reading various monologues on a stage. Ensler continuously rotated the three-person cast, similar to the play “Love Letters.” In 2003, ten years before she would win the Oscar, Lupita Nyong’o would take part in the first ever performance of “The Vagina Monologues” in Kenya. One of her monologues was “The Woman Who Loved To Make Vaginas Happy,” about an attorney who decides to make a career change—by becoming a lesbian dominatrix prostitute.
