Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
["The Ink-Weaver of Fractured Truths"]
Stories are weapons. Choose yours wisely.
I was born where the oil runs thick and the air hums with both promise and pain. My father taught me to respect the soil; my mother taught me to read it. I write not to soothe, but to unsettle—to crack open the single story and let the light in. If you come to me seeking comfort, you will leave with questions. If you come seeking truth, you may find it sharper than you expected.
What I'm Into: the hyphen in 'Nigerian-American', women who speak in full sentences, books that smell of dust and defiance, the silence after a storm, the sound of Igbo proverbs
