What amazes me about her is how she finds balance for everything she says...what a genius !!

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.

My daughter's name is Chimamanda and I wish she will be as great as Chimamanda Adichie

"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!

🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 I love how she express herself. She's so eloquent!!

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.

Chimamanda is an inspiration to all black people around the world. Using daily observation to write about such stories of great importance is marvelous.

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.

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

"Sometimes we are held back by what we have in our head, what we think should be”

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.

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

Smart, poise, gorgeous and ever so eloquent. 🇰🇪 🇰🇪 🇰🇪

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!

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.

You are truly a rare gem chimamanda.

Chima I am proud of you...you are a beautiful star of Africa. Black star of Ghana and Nigeria
