    She is such a good communicator. I've heard many prominent feminists speak, but very few can so simply and eloquently convey such complex ideas. She was born to be a writer.

    Anyone here after her interview with the french interviewer got dug up by the algorythm ?
  • @mhuyett7990
    I immediately got her book. I paused the interview to get it.

    I could listen to these two Africans converse all day. The representation of intellectual black people is very rare in American television... so to see two melanin-filled individuals having a conversation of this level, it's satisfying.

    I am an Asian woman but I am so glad women like Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie are fiercely stepping forward and reclaiming their heritage and beautifully exemplifying feminism. She so eloquently describes the diversity in the idea of femininity and how woman can choose their distinct identities. I absolutely love Trevor because I find him hilarious while extremely smart and socially aware but another thing I love about his show is the guests he invites. Most of them are a treat to listen to.
  • She's eloquent (yet decisive) and gentle (yet fierce) and calm (yet strong) and just stunning and beautiful and I adore her!!
  • Chimamanda, you've made Nigerians & all black race proud. Love you!
  • @Agbommaaneto
    I love her 'uncompromising' accent. She is not trying to sound more 'American'...
  • @baronium
    I remember being laughed at a few years ago when I said (as a man) that I am a feminist. Thank you for this.
  • I just discovered her ..and i feel like I've been missing out..
  • @giorgiam5684
    She is extraordinarily eloquent. I can go on listening to her arguments incessantly. Her ideas are so perfectly exposed with the careful choice of her words. She is one of the best contemporary writers.
  • @19thHour
    The first time her introducer pronounced her name correctly, probably :)
  • @merlion6613
    Chimamanda is truly one of the most powerful and intelligent women of our generation. What a blessing ❤

    I just found out about her today after her recent interview with a French journalist. That led me to a Ted talk of her and now this. I love her ! I think I’m gonna buy her book and read it soon. I’m not from Africa but rather Asia but I love learning about different cultures through the stories they tell about themselves
  • This is a black woman i want to see represent me and an image of what black women are! Poise, grace, intelligence, beauty and funny too! Proud of my Nigerian roots!
  • @kindypoo
    Oh my God!!! Her voice is intoxicating. I could listen to her all day
  • @yvettesmith4991
    This lady is what every sister should be. I wish I had her tailor, hair dresser. Her dialogue is absolutely brilliant 👍🏾 and true.

    I'm lucky enough to have this wonderful woman's autograph. She was in my city for a book festival in November. She's amazing, beautiful, smart and so very nice 😍
