Unequivocally BRILLIANT. Being Congolese, I am very touched specifically by the anecdotes of our colonial past so well said.The amount of proud, level of dignity Chimamanda bring to the African continent is beyond word, so needed in this unjust official one sided storytelling world. God bless her.
I wrote something similar on another of her speeches, but I am so glad that Beyoncé's song **Flawless brought me here because after watching as many speeches and interviews as possible of Adichie's I have learnt so much, I hope to have some money to be able to buy her books soon too to hope to educate myself further, this woman is amazing, I hope many other teenagers such as myself are as impressed and entranced with her as I am, and I tell everyone I possibly can about how influential I feel that Adichie is. There needs to be so many more people lie Adichie. What a wonderful woman.
You are right! You are right!! And you are right again!!! "THERE IS A LINK BETWEEN THE AFFLUENCE OF EUROPE AND THE POVERTY OF AFRICA" I have never heard a statement soooooo true. There is a very very very strong link between the AFFLUENCE of EUROPE and the POVERTY of AFRICA even to this day. The 9th day of February 2021. A living witness says this. More feathers to your crown Ma'am.
This is a brilliant lecture! Thank you so much for writing it! I grew up with all the stereotypical responses coming from europeans about Africa - using the excuse of europe's own barbaric internal territorial conquests in the many centuries past as some kind of justifiication, implying that Africa needs 'to get over, and on, with it'. The Africa that has been carved, was deeply cut by the european knife - we therefore bear collective responsibility for it's well-being.
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, I never vote for any one as a president, but if you turn into politics today I will vote for you, you well informed, awesome speech.
Africa needs more intellectuals like Adichie in this generation. We wouldn’t know where we are going if we don’t acknowledge the errors of the past and our responsibility as a humans in making up for the wrongs of the past.
What a sexist and demeaning comment. As if a woman cannot be intelligent or artistic if she is beautiful, or beautiful if she is intelligent or artistic. Listen to her, she has something important to say. This was an excellent speech.
...and what a brilliant response to that sadly famous Sarkozy speech which so infuriated us francophone. Madame Adichie, what a wonderful gift you are for Africa. All said with so much grace and eloquence. So proud.
That is because we live in a patriarchal world. It is a world that believes in the myth that men and masculinity are the only sex and gender that must matter. I am also aware of the fact that being "famous" relies on getting the resources to educate oneself, to have the time to be creative, and the resources to write and publish. Being "famous" also relies on a society that gives weight to the author's ideas - and that is less likely in a world where women's ideas are discounted.
And as a human being who identifies as male and as a feminist, I am also aware that history silences those who are defeated, and history has defeated women. I am not interested in the more famous sex in literature, I am interested in individuals whose ideas can wake this world up. Individuals such as Chinua Achebe, Zora Neale Hurston, Toni Morrison, Clenora Hudson-Weems, and Chimamanda Ngoza Adichie. These are individuals, mostly Africana women, who have opened my eyes and my heart.
The story of the Belgian boy if a very good one, it tells it how it is. It's the exact same here in Britain, we're taught little, if not nothing about our Colonial History, the History of the largest Empire in the world, yet we're taught about the Roman Empire.. The Government do not want to acknowledge our history. We must teach the youth about the atrocities commted in the past so that they are not repeated in the future.
Still on 'EU is like collection of cousins who deeply dislike each other but have to pretend to be nice at the dinner table' Chimamanda Ngozi has truely mirrowed our homeland Nigeria.
And I have a request for you Ma. Please publish every speech you make. If you don't want to, give me your address, I'll come, take the speech and publish it in your own name. Ka uwa dum nu ya.
"The past is only the past because we collectively acknowledge that it is so" Says Ngozi Adichie. I have always found this notion to be quite confusing (despite its obvious wisdom), as it seems to excuse time the responsibility of actually carrying and recording information. Its almost as though Adichie and others who share this view are of the opinion that only SPACE and Matter are capable of recording information (and may do so with or without time). Is this really true???? And, if so, WHAT exactly is TIME??? Einstein obviously disagreed.
Brilliant. Chimamanda should publish these ideas. She is intelligent, insightful and compelling!!!
Unequivocally BRILLIANT. Being Congolese, I am very touched specifically by the anecdotes of our colonial past so well said.The amount of proud, level of dignity Chimamanda bring to the African continent is beyond word, so needed in this unjust official one sided storytelling world. God bless her.
I am totally enthralled by Chimamanda.....I am so glad I heard her and keep listening to all the you tube videos of her....
Repeating this! Don't miss out her resent H. Museum 🇩🇪 speech.
I wrote something similar on another of her speeches, but I am so glad that Beyoncé's song **Flawless brought me here because after watching as many speeches and interviews as possible of Adichie's I have learnt so much, I hope to have some money to be able to buy her books soon too to hope to educate myself further, this woman is amazing, I hope many other teenagers such as myself are as impressed and entranced with her as I am, and I tell everyone I possibly can about how influential I feel that Adichie is.

exactly what i taught!!
A video of Adichies speeches a day keeps the cowardice away . She's so audacious 💓
@@tshepisoluciamekgoe9492 😂
I'd agree with you even in my dreams
Chimamandla Ngozi Adichie is one of the best story teller I've ever heard.
I love listening to this woman and reading her books. Everything about her makes me proud to be Nigerian. :)
You are right!
You are right!!
And you are right again!!!

One of the greatest feelings in this world is the feeling of NEGRITUDE😌

She is just perfect.
What a sexist and demeaning comment. As if a woman cannot be intelligent or artistic if she is beautiful, or beautiful if she is intelligent or artistic. Listen to her, she has something important to say. This was an excellent speech.

-Are you sure you're a writer? Because you look like a model!
... this remark contains the danger of a single story ...

Any one with transcription
You the one whom I accept your dreams
sometimes i call her chimymanda by accident. sounds like chimychanga, but thats wrong, Chimamanda!
she must be both i guess
But you must be well aware of the fact that most famous writers are men anyway.
