STORY: Lupita Nyong'o stopped by Sesame Street to have a heart-to-heart chat with Elmo. The Oscar-winning actress and the furry red puppet spoke about skin - its uses, abilities, and the importance of loving it, no matter what the color.
"Elmo sees that Miss Lupita's skin is a beautiful brown color," said the popular character.
"That's the thing I love most about skin, Elmo. Skin comes in lots of beautiful shades and colors," said Nyong'o, who won a supporting actress Oscar this year for her role in "12 Years A Slave."
