Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is a Nigerian writer whose work, both fiction (“Half of a Yellow Sun”) and nonfiction (“Dear Ijeawele, or A Feminist Manifesto in Fifteen Suggestions”), tackles social issues such as race, identity, and gender equality.

Instead, Adichie urged, it’s important to embrace exactly who we are; in doing so, we can find and live our whole truth.
