Kisumu county is lead by Lupita’s father, Governor Anyang’ Nyong’o, who arranged for the first African screening of Black Panther to take place in Western Kenya, Buzzfeed reports.

Lupita did not appear for that opening, but she was spotted alongside Danai Gurira at the movie’s premiere in Johannesburg, South Africa on Friday.
