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

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 [who] is succeeding in attracting a new generation of readers to African literature".Her most recent book, Dear Ijeawele, or a Feminist Manifesto in Fifteen Suggestions, was published in March 2017.
After listening her Speech I came to know about her life. At the age of four she had started reading the books and at the age of seven she had started writing. We can connect this things with her knowledgeable background and her curiosity towards the learning.

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
Her experience with tag of feminist by okuloma and idea of feminist in mind of people that's why she is happy feminist. In society men always physical strong then women. Men always superior in position and power then women. At same place , same job women will get less salary then men.
She shares her experience at hotel , when she alone as Nigerian consider as sex worker. Thus she should be accompanied by men. When she was with man waiter greets man and ignored her. Thus they are products of society.
Thus need of equality in rights of men and women . Same opportunity for both in every aspect. Changes in policy , attitude and mindset about gender role

3.Talk on importance of truth in Post -Truth Era
Truth is more important .
• She shares her experience of lying in hospital in front of a doctor about her height.
• Another is about traffic.
• Develop a courage to speak truth...
• Again shares her experience. She was a great fan of some of the writer but she was not knowing the one name of his works.
• It's become hard to tell when we were not at best.
• Tells importance of Harvard University. She considers them as a citizen leaders. But reminds them not to privileges over another but for the change.
• Get into the system, don't be satisfied of the success.
• Change the Media. Media must should be for truth. Not for profit or entertainment.
• Learn to say Don't know...
• Create the habit of Self doubt...and self belief.
