We are so proud of you both Chimamanda Ngozi and Trevor. Africa's flag soars🤎
Is awesome seeing this two Africans getting a platform to share their views. Is not about them but it include the whole African continent. Love you both ❤
2 extremely brilliant Africans.
Trevor is a philosopher .love listening to him.
This is the second time I’m watching this and I think I’ll often come back. The brilliance this exudes is marvelous.
I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know these 2 brilliant human beings. Im also glad they’re both Africans, as well.
I love love both of them, I've always referred to myself as a feminist but it's until I encountered her speech on feminism, and through her interviews that I truly understood what it encompasses. She's a force, she's composure, she's calm, she's rationality, she's fearless and gentle.
She has a beautiful beautiful smile ❤. She's so beautiful.
"Explaining your world instead of inhabiting it" that was brilliantly said. West African writers have such interesting storytelling sensibilities. I don't remember who it was who said something similar about how writing fiction should consist of telling something without saying what it is directly(😂 I might be explaining this badly). Kind of like how Chimamanda describes the harmatan (sp) season in her books. She will talk about how baked and cracked the soil tends to get, when she describes Princeton she'd say it smells of nothing. Her sensibilities as a writer are sharp.
Ian McEwan ('Atonement') said "we lie to tell the truth in our stories".
And Emma Donoghue writes (via Ma's voice in 'Room', "Stories are a different kind of true". Maybe something like that is what you are thinking of?
I admire them both. I love Adichie's books and stories and I find "Born a Crime" a masterpiece. Hilarious, entertaining, educational and inspiring, besides incredibly well written. Obviously, ·Americannah" is a brillliant piece as well. I could listen to them all day long. Both sharing a positive vibe and brilliant speeech. 2 outstanding and brilliant Africans.
This was an awesome interview with two of the brightest minds EVER!!!!
Such an awesome conversation. So many nuggets of knowledge - simply mind blowing. I am aw-inspired! Thank you!
The best thing I've heard on the internet this year!
So proud of this two Africans.They are articulate
i literally don't understand why more people haven't watched this.
This is what I came here to type. People are missing out
Two of my favorite people. Both incredibly brilliant 👏🏿 😃
I love you both and falling in love more as I read your books Chimamanda❤️
this guy is a really good interrviewer
Brilliant voices of the new world. Trevor and Chimamanda both comfort and pride to be who they are. I have two observations about the PEN representatives. They are not so secure in their skins and displayed it in the way they address the audience and the speakers. The stage position had to be static and placed in a way that established their authority. The worst was the white man has to come and position himself in front of the guest speakers, in a way to establish that he the white man has provided this platform to the black forum of intellectuals. Chris Jackson on the other had wanted to give himself some longer lines, insisted on reading excerpts in his own monotone expressionless voice. Why could the writers of the excerpts read their own voice. How invaluable that would have been to hear!
Two inspiring & remarkable African imports. Excellent & thought provoking discourse. 👌🏾🎯💗
powerful and inspiring.
Only your true friends, have the will & heart to tell you the truths, for constructive purposes. That being said, Oh if the heavens of black descendants ever do speak, needless to say these two voices are highly esteemed mouth pieces.
I will be back to watch this again & again for these powerful insights as a resource for usefulness & growth & respect, for the art of their incredible perceptions.
Trevor Noah’s mom is so phenomenal :-)
If parents possessed her parenting oversight
How many decent & highly functioning fellow humans would become a part of our ever developing society’s landscape?
Never mind, the potentials, so close, yet a far is saddening.
High racial esteem, sounds fantastic. I need, that to be infused in my children’s DNA.
You’re of super survivors. Now you, you get to live. You must live happy, fulfilling lives. You are important & irreplaceable (Will be ingrained in my children’s subconscious)
This is upload is so vital, even I, who felt oh I am desensitized to these observations, is moved by their amicable choice to depict in words honest revelations for our own benefit. Gratitude.
I am going to rewatch this video, it is that reenergizing :-) having such pertinent potency.
Thanks for sharing. TIPP: The sound is so bad and thats so sad cause I am sure they had so many valuable things to share.
This is a dope conversation.
My two dear persons, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and Trevor Noah!
"African-American history didnt start on a slave ship. It started in Africa". Smokey Robinson needs to be reminded of that
The ultimate lesson is death! Real talk
My super role model!
First comment
I love them
Fascinating conversation! I wish the sound would have been better. Could not turn up the volume.
Sadly it was really difficult to hear the first participant. Volume too low…😢Trevor, one could hear.
❤❤
The speakers are not speaking into the microphone. Too difficult to hear and therefore so few listeners.
Wow!!!!..........and I loved how CNA made TN emotional at the end. 🥰
no stereo?? wtf? who does mono??
Pipe jyers, onlay porty wan tomments!

The host was painful to listen/watch. I believe they could have done better, if those two weren't who they are I don't think I could have watched it.
just a quick question is it compulsory to sit cross legged in an interview or its just cool?
It isn't compulsory.
I wonder when she said immigrants if she included herself
She said that she was not an immigrant, rather a Nigerian living in America.
"Donald Trump is the tress test of America's democracy" -Trevor Noah
“Stress test”
@@erigerontriteleia Thank you 🤦🏽♂️😄
The camelaman go tidon for one kine angulu and the gal lap come dey show. E jood? Me I celibacy oo. Na tmall thin dey vetz mi!!
Please, let the camera crew be more professional. Fashion this days hardly contemplate the infinite spectrum of opinions out there in the world, hence whoever his controlling a camera should have that in mind in shifting here and there images into focus.
She considers herself Nigerian living in America not an African living in America 🤷🏾♂️
Africa is a large continent with 54 countries.
No volume!
Heard every word loud and clear. Dunno what you're talking about.
