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)!
