Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie speaks on stage during the annual Make Equality Reality Gala hosted by Equality Now on November 19, 2019 in New York City.

“When I started writing, I wrote about white people, but actually, I was copying Enid Blyton because I was so fascinated by the world she created. The way literature can create longing. I longed to go exploring with The Famous Five. This series was my favorite.” - Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
