What amazes me about her is how she finds balance for everything she says...what a genius !!
My daughter's name is Chimamanda and I wish she will be as great as Chimamanda Adichie
Greater than preferably
Likewise me
Please do not wish other people's life on your child, you do not her journey, you are only seeing the final product. She is a great women, but she had her journey which may not be favorable to your child.
@@jmbonuxbox right!🙌🏽
@@jmbonuxbox I think she means "determination" not to be a replica of Chimamanda.
Not only is this woman an eloquent speaker but oh how stylish she is! Absolutely beautiful.
So grateful that someone like this exists in our generation.
"I will take a chance on you" , I guess we all need someone to take a chance on us to show our greatness.
Chi Adichie is very well organised in her mind and presentation. She is the epitome of human possibility and doing what one loves best. She is naturally motivated to read and write about human issues. Among the Luo of Kenya we have similar women like Grace Ogot, Margaret Ogolla and Marjorie Oludhe...Great power of the intellect!
As a woman struggling with low self-worth, with ancestors who immigrated from Asia to South America and then two generations ago to Europe, identity has become a big question mark for me. But this speech has both inspired and comforted me. I will try to read more stories from different places and people. Maybe recognizing certain flaws and strengths, hopes and despairs in others will contribute to finding and forming more of my Self. And help me stop holding myself back, so I can play my role in making this world a little better like I know I can, too. Thank you for the hope I feel right now.
I think the most important thing in this world is Life. Understanding your past gives you a sight of where you are coming from but should not be a weight for you to move forward. Their immigration should in no case bother you to live your life.
Chimamanda hates trans people, read audre lorde and may ayim instead.
😊😊😊😊😊😊
@@nbessurvivor4301 Thanks for your response. It is of course more complex than fits into one comment. For me, everything is connected. Some connections within me, like the cultural heritage from my ancestors, seem weaker but it is up to me to discover and remake those connections. I've just always struggled with my sense of self and identity but I've accepted that. I definitely am not blaming my ancestors for making those choices to better their lives because they obviously ensured my life started in a better place as well. What this video inspired me to realize is that I might take more interest in other people than I have done until now. Being an introvert it'll be challenging but surely worth it : ) And ultimately I think that, the more you understand who you are, the better you are able to send out love and energy into the world🙏
YOU ARE MORE THAN ENOUGH JUST BECAUSE YOU WERE BORN! YOU ARE ENOUGH JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE HERE! KEEP YOUR HEAD UP! (AND KEEP IT UP!)
Learning about the world through the insightful accounts of others is such an enlightening experience. Now here I am endeavouring to “never admire quietly”…I believe Chimamanda is blessed with the gift of storytelling. From listening to the words she shared, my mind travelled along neural pathways which her words created. I am eager to read her books for an even greater experience.
Hey, you are missing out... I read her books n I became confident in myself... She is just gifted and Chinua Achebe of my time...
Oh you have a wide range to choose from. She's prolific and captivating. You'll become addicted. I discovered her with "Half of a Yellow Sun" that's just a marvel. A gem 💎
In the same way as those who wrote the books that inspired her were blessed. It goes around.
Chimamanda is an inspiration to all black people around the world. Using daily observation to write about such stories of great importance is marvelous.
Agreed! Chimimanda is an inspiration to all humans around the world!
Blacks, whites, etc
Just met her and I am definitely inspired by her.
I love that Beyonce featured her (Chimamanda's) voice in one of her songs.
Chimamanda,am so proud of you, am a Kenyan in Saudi Arabia.I have read your books and you really inspire me. Keep the fire burning. Have been trying to write short stories about what I go through to myself
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 I love how she express herself. She's so eloquent!!
"Sometimes we are held back by what we have in our head, what we think should be”
What an amazing lady. Beautiful to listen to and admire her expression of reading 📚 ❤ . For this reason I'm encouraged it's time for me to take up reading more and to start writing my own story and to stop procrastinate!!! Thank you Chimama........
instead of what actually should be.....
Totally explains why chimamanda is transphobic
Wow, Chimamanda is sooo eloquent, a voice of reason and intelligence, i like the lens in which she sees the world, i will start working on my sons behaviour
Holy heck the discrimination of the publishers is disgusting!! (And illegal) I'm so glad her voice has not been silenced! The woman is remarkable with a deep beautiful soul. Truly a voice to be heard from the rooftops. I love everything I've seen and heard from her so far!
You are truly a rare gem chimamanda.
As one who forever tells a story about something to help others understand what motivates me to do what I do, Chimamanda's Never Admire Quietly brings my own reality front and center. I can't wait to introduce myself to her writings.
Smart, poise, gorgeous and ever so eloquent. 🇰🇪 🇰🇪 🇰🇪
Listening to Chi Adichie made me undergo some introspective reality checks. What an intellect we have from Africa!
Chima I am proud of you...you are a beautiful star of Africa. Black star of Ghana and Nigeria
So beautifully said... Once we all understand that we are invisible souls and not bodies - souls that have the same basic qualities ( peace, love, joy and wisdom...) and the same basic needs - to be respected, valued, understood and loved... then we can move forward on equal footing, and will together energise and enrich this tired world...
I was called arrogant too because I was perceived as a foreigner being too confident in the streets of Lagos,
Storytelling is powerful. I watched Ms. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's video more than once. Absorbing her truth, experience, and reality of becoming a black American.
A great story teller ..she inspires our generation
Listening to her makes one feels like you're 50 years wiser.
Absolutely profound. I just love her.
I can listen to her all day we are proud of you sister Amanda
Laureates Chimamada Adichie writer represent beauty and brain in literatures. Looking at her cone shaped pointing shoulders blades, looking at her dress codes fashion, hairstyles, talking lip's listening tuned into her tones and brainy beautiful lady in literatures thanks lady.
10:12 "I'm not black" - this is the identification statement of Africans who've moved to America and separate themselves. So glad to hear the consciousness that followed.
11:11 The problem is not blackness... the problem is that American society has imposed on blackness the burden of many negative stereotypes
There you go with the single story (check her TEDTalk speech The Danger of the Single Story 2009)! That is not the identification statement of all Africans. The blame is on both sides actually
@@deja2 there I go with putting time stamps on things that stand out for my viewership. Stop trying to find something to cast blame for.
Happy are those who dare courageously to defend what they love.
So stunned by her speech i didnt realise the video had ended.😁
I chose to admire loudly even before I listen to the video. You dress lady has blown me away. It is the epitome of creativity in fashion.
Still struggling to understand the dress
It seems to be a dress inspired by a purse.
She is so beautiful much respect to this amazing women. 💞
Gods, what a gorgeous, smart woman through and through! I am tearing up listening to her.
Me too.
She is a chocolate jewel😅
Her voice and reasoning is so truthful, honest and full of wisdom. I really just love her because she owns who she is becoming.
Fabulous confident woman that knew what she wanted and went for it and is now successful . Great knowledge of people. Great observer.
When I was a kid I read the word "Milwaukee" in a book and thought it the most fantastical place on earth. I imagined it a pure paradise. The word itself was pure poetry to me, it rang in my head day and night, I don't remember how old I was, but I remember I had stolen that book while in primary school, so perhaps around 7 to 9- I went to secondary school at 10. Eventually with the rise of the internet in my teen years I came across the Jeffrey Dahmer story while browsing online and found out all that horror had happened in my paradisical Milwaukee. That was when Milwaukee lost that great childish glamor for me. 🙂
Mrs. Ngozi, that was a complete food for thought. I exceptionally love the transient diversification of your speech. You are not just a story teller you are a story that needs to be told. More wisdom🥰👏👏👏👏
Chimamanda you're an Inspiration to"PEOPLE", around the world👏🙏
Your transparency is so transparent. The world is slowly loosing the necessary standards. Standards that are just based on simple truths. What we do with those truths is totally our responsibility. I appreciate you doing your part. Please keep telling stories!!
What an absolutely marvelous, insighful, brilliant and inspiring woman. And beautiful in so many ways. To my mind she could be a worthy successor to Toni Morrison, Alice Walker and, of course, Achebe.
My favourite author. I love everything about her, her mind is so sharp, she is so articulate and equally beautiful. Your big fan from Johannesburg, South Africa.
I will not admire quietly.....that was refreshing always.
Wow... listening to you is just like watching a movie. You are great my sister.
She is an excellent story teller.
There is a reason why Chimamanda is who she is. This is what greatness is made of. 💚
I’m here smiling with her what a brilliant beautiful soul always loved hearing her stories especially the one with the one sided story.
You are such a great storyteller, Ma'am. I am usually elated listening to you
Indeed she is, undoubtedly the essence of a writer
Never admire quietly❤️❤️❣️
Delightful as usual. Glued to each one of her words from beginning to end. So relatable
I have listened to you quite a number of times and on different topics. I must say that this particular one was remarkably a compilation of many different topics that are exhaustive in themselves. I am thrilled by the cautious balance of your presentation and admittedly be considered as quite bold on your part. Best.
Are you a writer as well?
I’ve had the esteemed pleasure of
listening to Ms. Chimamanda on topics that hits home, with subtle,
yet powerful impact on its listeners,
me included. I’m moved to thank you
for your explicit and beautiful comment, done with such grace, and
dignity. Thanks for making this video
a pleasure to listen, learn, and enjoy.
Peace to you, always. 👍🏿🕊😷😄
Your comment is well put. You would make a great writer and that's if you aren't one yet.🥰
The book she wrote, THE THING AROUND YOUR NECK, Is very interesting, Eye Opening for African People, , I like the way she tells her stories, especially in that book
Black don't crack indeed😊 we are thick skin and blessed
Thank you for being you at all times👏👏👏❤
Classic and beautiful. Well done girl, the lord is your strength 👍🏾👏🏾💕
This woman is so brilliant and intelligent👍
I admire Ms. Adichie very much for her open mindedness and well-spokenness. She is a positive example for me as an African=American woman.
Such an eloquent woman ❤️
Wow, this lady is so graceful.
I just love the way she relishes her achievements...
She makes us better
Shes so gracious and likeable.
Lovely voice.
I love to share her videos with my daughter.
I can see alot of her in my daughter
I am showing this to my students today for every little Black girls and Brown girls could see what they can become in the brilliance of this amazing beautiful and brilliant Black woman.
But not trans black and brown girls, because chimamanda is transphobic. Chimamanda wishes to eliminate them.
You are a good story teller. I came across this video while looking for a different video but here I am stuck waiting for you to end and I am even looking forward to read your books
Enjoyed this…Helped me to understand how to use our everyday interactions, observations and understanding to tell insightful stories.
Just became a fan of Chimamda, I feel so inspired just watching a few videos, now I will look for her books 📚 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
the system must be restructured on merit, to truly exploit the whole of humanity for a better world. the future has arrived
Chimamanda you're full of wisdom
A wonderful writer and an eloquent speaker as well, a rare combination. Her presence is warm, gracious and vibrant, punctuated with bursts of self-effacing humor.
Mothers have a lot of influence and connection with their kids for various reasons. Hence they are in a unique position to influence the trajectory of their kids. When the mother is at home there is an atmosphere of warmth and happiness. There are some exceptions but I believe this is true in general. Even visitors to the home seem to feel more at home when the mother is around. Most songs in praise of parents are usually about mothers, and I suppose that is not by accident. Some of these natural and positive traits are now lost in the language of political correctness. Men also play their role in the family but they may not posses the same natural bond with the children that mothers do. Even grown-up men and women generally seem to be quite connected to their mothers. In such conversations, we tend to isolate men and women, and try to deal with their issues separately. I think a better approach would be to look at humanity as a whole and try to get everyone to play their role properly without any role being regarded as inferior or superior. But once we focus on the distinctions, there is guaranteed friction. It is also important to acknowledge that men and women differ in a number of ways, and use the differences to enhance life and not to score political points.
in awe and a nourished sense of calm after receiving this insight.
Great warrior woman.
Very inspiring, and so true lots of talents died in me...love you Chimamanda
❤ ❤❤
Please let that talent arise and bless the world with it. Love you 😘
Chimamanda
My Favourite Literary Artist
I really like You
Your style of telling stories
Speeching
How you pronounce
How you manage everything...
Generally
Your Marvelous👌
I would like to be You...Jamanii🥰🥰🥰
I can listen to Chimamanda forever. She is blessed
Brilliant. You are a blessing to humanity. Keep it up.
Inspiring, Honest, full of love and respect! For those of us who dream of a peaceful and just world, it starts with education, and curiosity not labels. How blessed am I to have stumbled upon her astute thoughts. She is a bold voice that could possibly make a difference for the betterment of society. The forgiveness of Christ Jesus is an essential ingredient, without knowing Him fully we can only make dents in our understanding of each other. He is the most misunderstood person who walked this green earth. Misunderstood even by those who claim to know Him. Thank you for bringing Him into the picture! Thank you for sharing your soul with us! I am so inspired by your brilliant light!❤
This is such a brilliant talk and I feel attacked of the stereotypes
The comment around being black is so profound. I don't see myself as black either. I am a human being, and that's all that matters.
I just love every thing Chimamanda says
Full of wisdom
Incredible woman! ❤️
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH FOR THIS SPEECH!!! 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝
Just amazing ❤
I love her
Simple as that
She’s great ❤
And me, I’m shallow. I love her hair, make up and fashion sensibility. Oh and yeah I read her work every opportunity😂
I relate to this so much. Thank you Chimamanda ❤
Thank you so much for the truth
Am so bless by this words.... love u ma
What a wonderful talk she gave!
Filled with wisdom
Whenever I listen to Chimamanda Adichie I learn so many beautifully couched phrases that I wish to have her brain (brilliance) to never forget them.😊🥰👏
Story is the living option and a new hearing.
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie👸🏿💖a true inspiration✨.
at times we could be held back by what we carry in our heads, the substance of what we think should be instead of what actually is and gives
Wow...Nice piece.Powerful.I love you
Your story is very inspiring. Thank you for sharing.😊❤❤❤
Wow... it was so beautiful.. thank you so much ma... I hope this fair world comes to b soon
Wow wow, This is a great piece to listen! I lover her.
