Title: Lupita v Weinstein
Post by: vooke on October 20, 2017, 06:52:35 AM
Has she ever schooled in Kenia?
Because there's something about her English that reminds me of Daily Nation

That aside, if she gave this article as a speech you can bet she'd get a standing ovation for standing up to a powerful a**hole.

Robina, what would you do differently?

Harvey led me into a bedroom — his bedroom — and announced that he wanted to give me a massage. I thought he was joking at first. He was not. For the first time since I met him, I felt unsafe. I panicked a little and thought quickly to offer to give him one instead: It would allow me to be in control physically, to know exactly where his hands were at all times.

Part of our drama school curriculum at Yale included body work, using massage techniques on one another to understand the connection between body, mind and emotion, and so I felt I could rationalize giving him one and keep a semblance of professionalism in spite of the bizarre circumstance. He agreed to this and lay on the bed. I began to massage his back to buy myself time to figure out how to extricate myself from this undesirable situation. Before long he said he wanted to take off his pants. I told him not to do that and informed him that it would make me extremely uncomfortable. He got up anyway to do so and I headed for the door, saying that I was not at all comfortable with that. “If we’re not going to watch the film, I really should head back to school,” I said.....

In my view the women that crossed his path and never made it are the ones that didn't give in.  Simples.

Lupita like her dad has a powerful brain. she is a genius. You can tell Geniuses by the clarity of their thoughts in writing. Her dad used to pen similar articles. She is a replica of this man

That's very true.  I remember her phrase "All Dreams are Valid" simple, but very powerful...
