Zawadi, known for her quiet lifestyle compared to her Oscar-winning sister Lupita Nyong’o, made the revelation through a heartfelt Instagram post that featured photos of her white wife and their adorable child.
In her message, Zawadi said she was done hiding who she truly was, vowing to live authentically and proudly.
Her bold announcement quickly sparked online discussions, with many Kenyans commending her courage for speaking her truth in a society that often frowns upon same-sex relationships.
LGBTQ supporters flooded her DMs, calling her a source of strength and representation.
One fan’s emotional message stood out: “Coming out shouldn’t have to be a thing, but your courage reminded me that love is love. You made me feel seen and less alone. Thank you, Zawadi.”
To accompany her post, Zawadi shared a powerful affirmation poem where she described herself as a goddess embracing both her light and darkness. “I am perfect as I am. I am a woman who radiates light. I am healing and vibrating higher daily,” she wrote.
Her brother, Peter Nyong’o Jr., was among the first to publicly support her, dropping a short but moving comment on her post: “My family,” followed by heart emojis — a gesture that warmed many hearts online.
While fans now eagerly await Lupita’s reaction, the Nyong’o siblings have once again proven that their family stands for love, acceptance, and authenticity.
Zawadi’s openness adds a new chapter to the celebrated family’s story — one that encourages others to embrace who they truly are, unapologetically.
