Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie: The danger of a single story | TED - YouTube
As a precocious reader and writer, I absorbed the foreign worlds of British and American children's books, which led me to pen stories that did not reflect my own Nigerian experience. The characters I created were white, blue-eyed, and lived in a world of snow and apples, a stark contrast to my reality of mangoes and perpetual sunshine. This was a testament to the power of stories, especially on young, impressionable minds.
