Is it me or is Omelogor gay?

"It seems to me that there is a massive decline today in compassion and in moral courage. And I think that, in some ways, both are connected. On social media, there’s an expectation that you will not get compassion: You tweet something, and then people are coming at you, even your friends. I think it makes people hold back. And then, of course, the moral-courage part of it is that there are people who could speak up, and they don’t. I think what’s happening now—the books that are not being published; you open the newspapers and often there’s someone who’s been dropped from something—it’s often not because those in positions of authority really believe that what has been said was bad. It’s because they’re afraid of themselves being attacked.

"With this kind of social censure hanging over people, it’s so much more difficult, I think, to create, to write. And you can see that even in the small space of a workshop—I constantly have to say to people, It’s okay. You can actually write that. Because you can see that they’re very worried about what the people in the workshop are going to think. I wish people would read more, and particularly read more imaginative writing. I think maybe it would make us a bit more compassionate."

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie on trans woman

[my-nameis-mud]

Olanna le colocó una almohada debajo de la cabeza con suavidad y se sentó a reflexionar sobre cómo una simple acción era capaz de repercutir en el espacio y en el tiempo y dejar manchas que ya jamás desaparecerían. Pensó en lo efímera que era la vida y resolvió no elegir el camino de la desgracia. Volvería a casa de Odenigbo.

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie | Dear Ijeawele | 2017

[5dejulho]

Cuidado com o perigo daquilo que chamo de Feminismo Leve. É a ideia de uma igualdade feminina condicional. Por favor, rejeite totalmente. É uma ideia vazia, falida, conciliadora. Ser feminista é como estar grávida. Ou se é ou não se é. Ou você acredita na plena igualdade entre homens e mulheres, ou não.

Hey Nigerians on Tumblr,

how do you guys feel about Chimamanda N. Adichie? I enjoy her books and Ted Talks, but I was wondering how people of her country feel about her because a country’s perception of a public figure doesn’t always match with the international perception (I can think of some examples of it from my country).

Here in Brazil she’s very admired, especially on the black and feminist community, and often quoted on college entry essays.

Here’s a cover she did for Marie Claire Brasil in 2019.
