I am a person who believes in asking questions, in not conforming for the sake of conforming. I am deeply dissatisfied – about so many things, about injustice, about the way the world works – and in some ways, my dissatisfaction drives my storytelling.

Chimamanda has also become famous for a TedTalk she delivered some years ago. In this talk, she describes the way her personal life and the culture she belongs to affect the way she writes. She particularly addresses the risks of being exposed to only one single point of view about a certain topic; in this case, our opinion on African culture. Watch the talk, called "The danger of a single story" and identify what the disadvantages are of paying attention to one viewpoint.
