People Who Studied Abroad #7:
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, author

From:
Nigeria

Studied:
Bachelor’s degree in Communication and Political Science - Eastern Connecticut State University (United States)
Master’s degree in Creative Writing - Johns Hopkins University (United States)
Master’s degree in African Studies - Yale University (United States)

In the video above, Chimamanda Adichie talks about the power of media, literature, travel and education to give us a broader understanding of the world and its people.

(It’s almost 20 minutes long, but it’s worth it! I also recommend her collection of short stories, The Thing Around Your Neck.)
