Category: Project Finding Beauty

Project Finding Beauty is where I share six-word memoirs and photography. It is my attempt to find beauty from the ordinary and every day living rather than being consumed by the gloom and despair.

Hey Good People! Love listening to author intervie Hey Good People! Love listening to author interviews? And even better, you are a fan of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's work!? 📚✨

Well, I’m excited to share that when Adichie visited Helsinki last month, our Finnish-African Society’s chair, Sarah @laarucigbire had a fascinating conversation with the author about her latest novel, Dream Count. 🙌🏾

​Visit Finnish-African Society's blog to listen to the conversation and also read a follow-up article “Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie: Women’s Health, Truth-Telling, and the African Diasporic Voice in Dream Count” I co-authored with Sarah. 🎧📖

Find the direct link to the interview from @finnishafricansociety bio or use this link www.finnishafrican.com/en/blog! 

Of course, feel free to share the link with anyone you think might benefit from this meaningful conversation. 🙏🏾

And Finnish readers (you probably know this already), if you prefer to read the translated version you can get “Unelmia” from Otava! 😊

Here's to summer reading (or winter, if you're in the South)!
