Such a strong personality! Assertive, bold, epitome of beauty and an embodiment of grace. Thank you Chimamanda for sharing your thoughts on this platform
I'm a Ghanaian Mom and this bit about 'being sensible and being a doctor,a lawyer;teacher;pilot' resonates with me.The saving grace for my children is I'd seen a Chinese proverb earlier on in my parenting vocation: Do not bring a child up in your world for their world may not be like yours. Balancing this proverb and travelling widely;also bearing in mind that children will grow up and MUST 'put bacon on the table' has been the compass for my career counselling personally and professionally.
Funny thing is, she would tell you to be yourself, I think. The best thing you can give the world is yourself. Even in the Bible there were not 2 prophets that were alike in their message, they were all unique, but all leading us to God. There's something special, a unique message God has given us. Speak it. She was given women and African issues. You might be given health and excerice, etc. Even if you are given the same, women and African issues, be you. Speak your story, which will be much different from heres, by default, and that's how you will impact the world.
This woman gives me no peace😖 I love her❤️ I wish writing was taken as serious as some careers or fields, maybe some of us would do what we love with no fear of. Chimamanda is the IT woman for me❤️
Realy you suffer from depression? "Destigmatising depression, hah, another turning point in Chimamanda's talk. You are our African pride. I love you a lot
Your talk on "TRUTH" to the class of 2018 Harvard, you nailed it. The Ngozis, that's what we do, being light in the dark....i'm so proud of you, indeed you are a blessing to our generation, well done.
Oohhh my my. That was the first time I head her speak and I was like ooooohk. This is it. I wanna listen to what else she has... I haven’t been disappointed since then...,
Me and this lady are so much alike. I am a writer. She is telling the truth. That is really how you start a story. Listen, pay attention, people watch.
Chimamanda Ngodzi Adechie is a wonderful mentor I've ever had..I love listening to her always ..I pray thee for God's favour to locate thee ..I don't feel tired when listening to her..only her zeal alone
Its funny how she says nobody knows where Nigeria is'. I've worked with an Australian for a year now, and he had the gumption to refer me to as a Nigerian to his colleagues. My heart just sank and something die within me. I was like, "What? I have been working with you for a year now and you think I am Nigerian. I am Kenyan for Chrissake, and these 2 countries are worlds apart! The least you can do is get my nationality right" It's like saying a Greek is a British. I mean, nothing against Nigerians or the British, but get my country right. You wouldn't refer to a Swedish as Italian, would you? Or a German as Turkish, would you?
That is a self-assured naija woman. Most non Naijas see that as arrogant. She was lucky to have been raised on a university campus such as Nsukka and a great family.
The only thing I don't like so much about Chimamada is that she makes me sleep late any time I listen to her speak. But I will learn to sleep late for her sake.
My world meeting this lovely shaking ground lady feels bigger, And my "thank you" for being you , an African beautiful sincere soul, is not enough,but however I will say it: thank you , thank you, thank you, you are being yourself and in the same time you are being for us : a shining sun, God bless your beautiful honest self
Blessings Sister Queen Chimamanda🎉 I so value Your unwavering voice. I love that You challenge the nonsense of reframing Your tone to tame fears of "I'm Not Yelling!" By Elizabeth Lieba speaks of...
This truly African woman doesn’t know that she is actually my mentor!!! Her articulate assertions and very informative communications simply fire me up✨✨✨💥💥💥
Her joyful,charming presence does not allow a person to have a thought 'she might have depression' cross his/her mind easily. Long live Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie! She is a living inspiration for many- the depressed, stigmatized, emotionally shattered individuals, also those who lack confidence in themselves, for people to believe that it is okay to fail(with inner satisfaction) even when you are taking the hard path you think is right.
I will always love you, my young daughter. American intectual community had applauded your intectual brilliance which is coloured also in your humble native intelligence Posterity, will always admire your rational and objective position over the last Nigerian election. Keep it up. Nathan.
Remaining true to oneself will always make one happy. I loved it when she emphasized that It’s always worth it to try. Keep sharing with the world what is genuine to you Chimamanda... it’s inspiring
Gordon Graham she is not for any white bloke. You snatch our bests . Well she is african not african American like serena williams whom I know that her gold digger husband would divorce one day
All things admirable and inspirational in one package. Intellectual. Well spoken. Well read. African. Modern. Gorgeous. Strong. Sensitive. Real. She is just amazing! I have to stop myself watching her on TH-cam sometimes, because I cannot stop, once I start!

Even if she spoke for twenty hours non-stop I would still listen to her talks.

The lady interviewing her is having so much fun! I love it😂
As if her intellect was not striking enough, she is warm and hilarious at the same time.
striking = yes PRETTY!
@@ogyaherd9667 thanks. I was just going to add not to mention beautiful!!
I love the fact that she pronounces Igbo as 'Igbo' and not 'Ibo'.

This makes me 100% sure that each to his own, I cannot talk in public to save my life but she is so confident and comfrtable
She said she loves Nairobi(for her gentleness and energy).
Wow! Thanks.

I have depression because i hate my job, and here is someone who loves her job and she also has depression 😖.
Thank God i found this ..
Una de mis escritoras favoritas. Amo como habla, como se expresa y me siento tan identificada con lo que dice y con lo que escribe.
I feel inspired listening to you..
I also love the person who does her hair, ad her African Makeup is so flawless. She should be the poster girl for Black skin make-up.
This truly African woman doesn’t know that she is actually my mentor!!! Her articulate assertions and very informative communications simply fire me up✨✨✨💥💥💥
Me too 🙌🏿
she is so enticing. Thank you NGONZI
Great personality. We need you as our president
Even if they booed, I was willing to take that; because I had spoken my truth.
I didn’t have a clear picture of Nigerian and Nigeria before listening to this wonderful lady. She is awesome. I wish her success.
She look so angelic... Love how she speaks💙
