  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 ก.ค. 2024
  • Like many of us at INBOUND, Chimamanda is a storyteller. She has used her gift at weaving stories to ignite a global conversation about the importance of feminism to everyone, and to warn of the dangers of hearing only a single story about another person or place.
    INBOUND's purpose is to provide the inspiration, education, and connections you need to transform your life and business. The INBOUND Studio provides year-round interviews with remarkable people.

      The Adeola show Simply that some people have no heavy accents and others do not. I have met several Nigerians in South
      Africa.With some you can tell they are Nigerians the minute they open their mouths to speak. Not so with others.
      If you have met black south africans whose mother tongue is one of the South African languages you would also realise that some are more “accented” than others.

      nah she's sort of wrong in a lot of her position. She assumes some wrong things about romance. For example some girls say no and they mean yes. This is logic. What she can say is it's not safe to assume she means yes if she says no becaus she probably means No. That's logical but how she presents her ideas is untrue.

    Excellence in every way, shape and form 🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽 “Nina Simone” don’t let us be misunderstood “out of ignorance some people may say communist” buuuuuuttttt, a communist is not thinking with Lady Adichie’s wider scope of vision, a communist narrow ambition is not anywhere near this woman’s caliber, a communist isn’t thinking on such high levels as Dr. Chimamanda.” An off the charts woman for change. Great heart, Eclectic mindset, admirable ocular prowess and a noble ambition. She utilize a renaissance state of mind envisioning a recreated world on a foundation of values like dignity literacy and respect literacy integrity literacy, the employment of a moral compass. I thoroughly enjoy viewing the world through her lens. Messages reciprocated with great pleasure.

    “Now my charms are all o’erthrown
    And what strength I have’s mine own
    Which is most faint
    Oh release me from my bands
    With the help of your good hands
    Gentle breath of yours my sails
    Must fill, or else my project fails
    Which was to please. Now I lack
    Spirits to enforce, art to enchant
    And my ending is despair
    Unless I be relieved by prayer
    Which pierces so that it assaults
    Mercy itself and frees all faults
    As you from crimes would pardon’d be
    Let your indulgence set me free

      Exactly! I thought the same thing especially when i heard her speech in another presentation..she talked about her nephew who she taught maths..same as in the novel..also her sister who was already in the U.S. before she got there..also as represented in the book..it wasn't hard to decode she was IFEMELU😂😂👑✌
