Prolific author, TedTalk speaker, feminist and activist Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is known globally for her moving narratives on identity and acceptance. On the FrancoFiles Podcast, Chimamanda examines the traditional portrayal (or lack of portrayal) of African American history in the US. In an era of book banning and cancel culture, she encourages listeners to look past polarized politics to create authentic and engaging representations of stories whose impact is still seen and felt today.
