Is she? She’s been in two really big franchises (Star Wars as a voice, and Black Panther), has a Best Supporting Actress win, was in a fairly big horror movie (Us) and has some decent cultural presence through stuff like frequently being on Vogue covers or a documentary about African history.

Fun facts - she was born in Mexico, grew up in Kenya, went back to Mexico as a teen, went to college in the US, and lives in New York. She speaks Luo, Swahili, English, and Spanish.
