Multi-award-winning actress Lupita Nyong'o just got featured on Times Square and she can't keep calm!
Taking to her Instagram page the actress who also doubles as a model, author, and now content creator announced the news while celebrating her latest achievement, which is the launch of her podcast, alongside a friend.
As the two awaited for the post to come up on New Yorks's huge street screens the videographer asked Lupita if she was ready for the moment to which the actress nervously revealed nothing could've prepared her for the moment.
"You know what? I... I am not," the 41-year-old Oscar winner said with a stutter as she kept turning to watch the street in anticipation.
She candidly added that although she'd dreamed of launching her podcast for years and telling stories close to her heart as well as giving other Africans a space to express themselves, being featured on Times Square was not on her bingo cards.
"I don't think I would have ever imagined this. Having a billboard on Times Square on a project I dreamed of..." Lupita candidly shared as she stood across the street from where her billboard was supposed to go up.
Squealing with delight like a child in a candy store Miss Nyong'o elatedly announced the moment they'd been waiting for was finally here as her videographer panned the camera to show Lupita's latest project splashed across one of the city's humongous bright screens.
"Oh my God! And it is just like that, just like that it is gone Mommy we made it!" The actress joyfully said as she shook with excitement.
Fully taking in the moment and how precious it was, her joy and laughter turned into tears of pride and self-accomplishment.
"That's really special, oh my God..." Lupita said with her hand on her heart as she tried to hold back tears that were threatening to break away. "That was cool... that's it folks! Join me next week for another episode," she brightly added while wiping away her tears with the back of her fingers after letting them flow for a while.
Captioning the post alongside several love emojis the 'A Quite Place: The Origin,' actress wrote, "When your dream becomes a reality in TIMES SQUARE!!! Thank you, Amazon Music, for this major love. Mind Your Own love!"
