Sunday reading : Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie born on 15 September 1977) is a Nigerian novelist, writer of short stories, and nonfiction.

1) Talks on important of story / literature


                in 2008,adichie was awarded a macarthur genius grant. she was described in the times literary supplement as "the most prominent" of a " procession of critically acclaimed young Anglophone authors is succeeding in attracting a new generation of readers to Africa literature." her most recent book, dear ljeawele, or a feminist manifesto in fifteen suggestions, was published in march 2017. According to me chimamanda Adiche's speaking skills is wonderful and she speaks very clearly. in this vedio chimamanda adiche  talls the story of how she found her authentic cultural voice and warns that if we hear only a single story of about another person or country. she talks about many things like: character, novel, books, coutry, place, culture, nature, she talks about "the things fall apart" written by chinua achebe.



2) we should all be Feminist's:

Second video about the feminism . A very interesting talk on feminism that how society norms discriminate women from men. She gave many example of her life in which her primary incident about the class monitor was interesting. She talked  generally same thought that feminist used to talk  but I like most her thought that Culture not make people but people make culture, so we should change our ideology that we internalised. As a man we should respect women, there are many natural different between men and women in body organs but women have equal ability same as men. We make happier world in which men and women both are equal, we must raise our daughter and son in similar way. So, this about feminism is worth to listen.


3) Talk on importance of truth in Post -Truth Era

     Truth is more important .
