Power of Words
My hand drawn rendering of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is a Nigerian writer whose works include novels, short stories and nonfiction. Her books use the history of the Nigerian civil war to create stories that tell people the tales of war, pain, love, and happiness. She warns that if we hear only a single story about another person or country, we risk a critical misunderstanding. By appealing to the audience’s sense of humour, sympathy, pity, and even shame, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie effectively convinces us that we should pay attention to the whole story of a person, not just a surface-level. We need to ask who decides which words and thoughts are banned, and who has the power and access to creativity.
