Photos: Chimamanda at Wellesley College giving a commencement speech

Inspiring woman. Love her yellow head-wrap. See another photo of the Wellesley 2015 graduates waving their copies of Chimamanda's "We Should All Be Feminists" after the cut...

      I never knew his father was kidnapped. That must have been a very emotional and troubling period for her. Thank God his safe and sound.

    This is a woman, I mean a "woman" delight to the eyes and pleasure to the heart, silently inspiring millions around the world, not with her expensive acquisition or necked body, but her intelligence and well placed opinions. God bless the day you were born and and your generation.

    And have you all noticed that despite all her "bookish" accomplishments, my chick neither forms britico or americana accent...
    All you Tokes,and Toke wannabes, and two naira OAPs that will not allow somebori to hear word, speaking wanna-gonna and innit doesn't show you're well traveled or educated. It only brings your struggles to the surface; the insecurities, the slave mentality and your pitiable attempt and need to "belong".

    Respect, dignity, beauty, intelligence, wisdom and strength based on authenticity from her African roots and nurtured by a real values-based upbringing is what Ms. Chimamanda Adichie symbolizes. One hopes more African girls will emulate these lasting qualities and grow up wanting to make a tangible difference starting in their immediate communities and perhaps, on the world stage. Thank you for being you, Ms. Adichie.
