Part 1 We Should All Be Feminists by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie Summary"We Should All Be Feminists" by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is an essay adapted from her TEDx talk, which provides a personal and passionate perspective on feminism and its relevance in today's world. Key Points of the Essay: Definition of Feminism: Adichie defines feminism as a movement for the social, political, and economic equality of the sexes. She emphasizes that feminism is not about disregarding men but about striving for equity in roles, opportunities, and treatment for both genders. Personal Experiences: Through anecdotes from her life in Nigeria, Adichie highlights the subtle and blatant forms of gender discrimination women face. She recounts experiences from childhood to adulthood that illustrate societal expectations and pressures on women and girls, including how they are often discouraged from pursuing ambitious goals compared to their male counterparts. Cultural Conditioning: Adichie discusses how culture plays a significant role in shaping gender norms, asserting that society raises boys and girls differently, leading to power imbalances. She stresses the importance of awareness of these biases to challenge and change them. Importance of Feminism: The essay argues that everyone—regardless of gender—should be involved in feminist activism. Adichie asserts that true equality would benefit all, leading to a more just society. Challenges to Feminism: Adichie addresses common misconceptions about feminism, including the belief that it is a threat to men. She emphasizes that dismantling patriarchal norms can also free men from toxic expectations placed upon them. Call to Action: The essay concludes with a call for collective action against gender inequality. Adichie advocates for education and dialogue about feminism and encourages individuals to stand up against sexism in their daily lives. Overall, "We Should All Be Feminists" is a compelling argument for gender equality, providing insights into the ways in which society can work towards creating a more equitable world.Part 2 We Should All Be Feminists AuthorChimamanda Ngozi Adichie is a Nigerian author born on September 15, 1977, in Enugu, Nigeria.

Day 2/13 of the Yellow Sun wavespell - Spectral Moon 3 The collab of Yellow Sun and the Spectral Moon - their starting up in tandem - has been a true vibrational shift. We were in the heady, 'doing', practically anti-mystical fusion of Blue Hand and the Planetary Moon, and both prevented a ton of spiritual connection. Now we are in the wonder of being fed pure enlightenment and a connection to the godhead of the sun itself, alongside the invitation or insistence on surrender that the Spectral tone brings. It took a minute to be sure it's real - 'I can feel/pray/rely on the god I understand again' - but now it seems to have traction. I love waking up, experiencing panic about the same set of dilemmas that existed days ago, with the impulse to 'turn it over,' or simply say, 'Please help.' You know it's a time of undoing. With god on/by your side, you can trust where the disintegration, or basic relaxation, takes you.
5.2.25 - Day 13/13 of the Blue Hand Wavespell - Spectral Moon 1 It's the first day of the Spectral Moon, and the eve of the Yellow Sun wavespell. We are about to flip from pretty hardcore human-centric astrological timezones to something way more 'spiritual.' Yes, humans can be spiritual, by filling their cellular bodies with aspirations of light, but we are the very definition of 'planetary' in our sentience. So when we dip into sentience-positive moments - passages that are oriented to earthen reality instead of the infinite, the heavenly, the otherworldly - we can feel so weighted down we forget that light is not just streaming solar rays, but the quality of anti-gravitational boundlessness. Which I think we need right now, STAT. And it's coming: ether and undoing and being rolled by forces greater than ourselves, without control or a clear landing spot back on terra firma. But maybe we will welcome the rush, the release.
In this edition of arts24, we bring you a candid conversation with one of our greatest living authors about race, class and womanhood. From her extraordinary debut novel "Purple Hibiscus" to the Women's Prize-winning "Half of a Yellow Sun," Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has established herself as one of literature's most vital voices. Her TED talk "We Should All Be Feminists" was sampled by Beyoncé, her words have been printed on Dior T-shirts, and Time magazine has named her one of the 100 Most Influential People.
Our guest today is writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, revered in her home country of Nigeria and in the United States, thanks especially to the popularity of her 2013 novel Americannah, a book that straddles the cultures of America and Nigeria and considers the challenges, status, and perceptions of Africans abroad. Since then, Adichie has continued to write fiction and essays on a range of issues, from identity, to grief, to the role of women. Her Ted Talk, “We Should All Be Feminists,” has been viewed by millions and heard by even more when Beyonce sampled a portion in the song, “Flawless.” Adichie is also the author of the novels Half of a Yellow Sun and Purple Hibiscus, the essays We Should All Be Feminists and Notes on Grief, and the story collection The Thing Around Your Neck.On March 7, 2025, Adchie came to the Sydney Goldstein Theater in San Francisco to discuss her new novel, Dream Count, with Anna Malaika Tubbs, author of “Erased: What American Patriarchy Has Hidden from Us”, to be published in May 2025.
Dream Count by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. This author is known and loved for her deeply moving and profound works of fiction (for me, particularly, Purple Hibiscus and Half of a Yellow Sun). This time it's the story of four Nigerian women, and as such spans a wide geography from Africa to America with a great insight into their friendships, loves, regrets and world views. It's very elegant and insightful storytelling – their lives were as authentic to me as those of women I actually know, and I loved it. One Hundred Years of Betty by Debra Oswald. This is the fictional memoir of a woman who, on the eve of her 100th birthday looks back over her life, reflecting on the changes she's seen throughout her century and the many unexpected opportunities that came her way. This was the evolution of a naïve young immigrant to Australia who ended up living a life she could never have imagined – with all its struggle, grief, success, loves, disappointments and surprises. Betty is a very ordinary character who somehow lived an extraordinary life and it's a joy to read. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Our guest today is Nigerian writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. Her books include Half of a Yellow Sun, The Thing Around Your Neck, and the 2013 novel Americannah, whose popularity propelled Adichie to literary stardom. Like Adichie herself, Americannah straddles the cultures of America and Nigeria, considering the status and perceptions of Africans abroad as well as what happens when they return to their home countries. This month, Adichie will publish a new novel, Dream Count. As we look ahead to that, and Adichie's upcoming visit to City Arts & Lectures, we're re-broadcasting this 2014 conversation with her friend and fellow writer Dave Eggers.

The feminist manifesto in Fifteen Suggestions was written by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, a Nigerian novelist, nonfiction writer, and short story writer. Adichie is a vocal feminist, and her work often explores themes of gender, race, and identity. She is the author of several award-winning novels, including "Americanah," "Half of a Yellow Sun," and "Purple Hibiscus." She is also the author of the nonfiction book "We Should All Be Feminists," which was adapted into a TED Talk that has been viewed over 10 million times. The feminist manifesto in fifteen suggestions was originally published as a letter to Adichie's friend, Ijeawele, who had asked for advice on how to raise her daughter as a feminist. The letter was later published as a standalone book in 2017. Adichie's manifesto is a powerful and inspiring guide to raising a feminist daughter. It is a must-read for all parents, regardless of their gender or the gender of their child.

Emma Barnett hears from one of the women alleging she was assaulted by Russell Brand. Speaking for the first time since accusations became public, 'Alice', who has accused Russell Brand of sexual assault when she was a teenager, says Brand's emphatic denial of the allegations of rape and sexual abuse against him is "insulting". 'Alice', who had a relationship with Brand when she was 16 and he was 30, says she wants to start a conversation about changing the age of consent. On her first day back at the Woman's Hour helm after maternity leave, Emma gets some advice and reflection from someone who returned to work after a similar break, the global literary force that is Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. Author of bestselling books including Half of a Yellow Sun and Americanah, plus essays and short stories, she has just released her first children's book, Mama's Sleeping Scarf. You'll no doubt be familiar with the book Frankenstein - but how much do you know about its author Mary Shelley? That's a question that led director, Lucy Speed, and producer, Deborah Clair, to write, direct and produce their new play that's about to start touring in the UK. Conception - Mary Shelley: The Making of a Monster tells the story of a journey of self-discovery, as the Frankenstein author returns, years later, to Lake Geneva where she wrote her famous novel. The play is hitting the stage around the 200th anniversary of the first publication of the novel under Mary Shelley's name - having originally been published anonymously. Artist and author Fleur Pierets embarked on a performance art project with her wife, Julian, in 2017, aiming to get married in all the countries where same-sex marriage was legal at the time. But their dream was cut short when Julian was diagnosed with late-stage brain cancer in early 2018 and died six weeks later. It's a story Fleur has put down on paper in her book, Julian, which has just been translated into English and released in the UK. Since the 1980s, the comedian and actor Doon Mackichan has been a TV regular, starring in programmes like Two Doors Down, Smack the Pony and Brass Eye. She has also played plenty of roles on stage. She dissects how today's culture still expects women to adhere to stereotypes, some of which she refuses to act out, as described in her memoir, My Lady Parts.

'Alice', who had a relationship with Brand when she was 16 and he was 30, says she wants to start a conversation about changing the age of consent. One woman who spoke out earlier this year is the TV producer turned novelist and screenwriter Daisy Goodwin. She accused Daniel Korski, a former special advisor who was in the running at the time to be Conservative candidate for London Mayor, of groping her at an event in 10 Downing Street in 2013. Daniel Korski vehemently denies this and subsequent allegations of sexual misconduct. Daisy joins Emma in studio. On her first day back at the Woman's Hour helm after maternity leave, Emma gets some advice and reflection from someone who returned to work after a similar break, the global literary force that is Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. Author of bestselling books including Half of a Yellow Sun and Americanah, plus essays and short stories, she has just released her first children's book, Mama's Sleeping Scarf. Fearless is the title of the new book from make-up business owner and makeover specialist Trinny Woodall. You'll probably know Trinny best for her show What Not To Wear, alongside best friend Susannah Constantine in the early 2000s. Trinny has more recently launched a multi-million pound make-up business and skincare company, Trinny London. She speaks to Emma about reinventing herself in her 50s.

This week on the podcast I read the amazing, the iconic, the classic novel "Half of a Yellow Sun." Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is no newcomer and yet I will urge anyone who hasn't read this book to go read it. It's amazing. I'll be back in two weeks with "Moon Witch, Spider King"; I might be back before that... https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-most-dangerous-thing-in-america/id1551126578 https://open.spotify.com/show/5xky9xGXgdh0bTcUx1yNEf?si=c1b3769405b64615 https://soundcloud.com/bobby-wilson-588095918 Music from TheKeepRunning: https://soundcloud.com/user-861419594 To read my writings: https://bobbywwilsonjr.com/publications Also, follow me on Twitter: https://twitter.com/chewingbones
This week on the podcast I return with the final part of my series on Emmanuel Eze's challenging "On Reason." In this episode, we discuss sections four and five of the book which are less theory and more the practice of doing philosophy. I'll be back in two weeks with some fiction, most likely Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's "Half of a Yellow Sun."

In this special podcast, we are featuring students from the high school's Africa elective course. This course offers a supplement to the mainstream history curriculum allowing students to explore alternative stories and perspectives within history and life. This podcast is compiled of a series of interviews, which explore several facets of African culture. Students discuss their intellectual and emotional discoveries surrounding protest music, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's literary work–specifically with Half of a Yellow Sun– the movie Ife– which offers insight into LGBTQ+ relationships in Nigeria– artistic resistance, and popular African poetry. We hope you enjoy!

There is only one English-language bookshop in Dakar, Senegal and it's called Chez Alpha Books. Initially located inside the owner's garage, it turned into an independent bookshop with a rich and diverse collection of fiction and non-fiction, with a particular focus on writers from Senegal, other parts of Africa and diaspora but also international classics. The bookshop doubles as a library service, a summer reading camp for children who want to learn English, a college test prep centre and study abroad counseling. Educator, artist, and activist Angela Franklin is the founder of Chez Alpha Books and our guest today. Originally from the US, Angela has more than 20 years of experience in higher education administration. Chez Alpha Books was born out of calamity: her studio in Baltimore burned down and she was forced to start over. Angela is making history and we're very honoured to have her in our podcast today as a beacon of inspiration.

Show Notes and Links to Karla Brundage's Work On Episode 27, Pete is honored to speak with Karla Brundage, who he has been lucky enough to meet through Nervous Ghost Press and the virtual open mics that have coincided with the release of Writing for Life, an anthology in which Karla is featured. Karla Brundage is a Bay Area based poet, activist, and educator with a passion for social justice. Born in Berkeley, California, Karla spent most of her childhood in Hawaii where she developed a deep love of nature. She is the founder of West Oakland to West Africa Poetry Exchange (WO2WA), which has facilitated cross-cultural exchange between Oakland and West African poets. Karla is a board member of the Before Columbus Foundation, which provides recognition and a wider audience for the wealth of cultural and ethnic diversity that constitutes American writing. Her editorial experience includes a pan-Africanist WO2WA poetry collection, Our Spirits Carry Our Voices, published by Pacific Raven Press in 2020; Oakland Out Loud (2007); and Words Upon the Waters (2006) both by Jukebox Press. Her poetry book, Swallowing Watermelons, was published by Ishmael Reed Publishing Company in 2006. Her poetry, short stories and essays have been widely anthologized and can be found in Hip Mama, Literary Kitchen, Lotus Press, Bamboo Ridge Press, Vibe and Konch Literary Magazine. She holds an MA in Education from San Francisco State University and an MFA from Mills College. About her collection of poetry, Swallowing Watermelons, Ariel Gore, Editor Hip Mama Magazine, wrote, “Karla Brundage's poetic voice is just what the world needs now.
