  • Join internationally bestselling author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie with CNN’s Zain Asher and NYT’s Elisabeth Egan for a conversation about resilience, family, and their acclaimed new memoirs - Adichie’s Notes on Grief and Asher’s Where the Children Take Us. Each telling the riveting and heartbreaking stories of losing their fathers, Adichie and Asher’s new books are nonetheless stories about hope - how the collective grief of the Covid era helped Adichie make sense of her own, how Asher’s mother saved her family from being engulfed in despair, and how their shared Nigerian heritage gave each of them a sense of grounding and stability in tradition. Hear them discuss what they’ve learned from their fathers' lives, how writing and literature have shaped their identities, the incalculable influence of motherhood, overcoming tragedy, and much more.Your support helps us continue creating online content for our community.

    Your stories made me too emotional. I can relate to everything our sisters said. Nigerian parents are the best in the world. Their sacrifices are deep to be forgotten. They give their all, sometimes their lives.

    This is such a beautifully humane conversation, and a lesson on how grief can be triumphed over by the right human connections.
    Just learning of Zain Asher's book from this video. I'll check it out.

    Very, interesting interview and a mother of wisdom. May God bless her. I have seen where my mom always used this proverb. You have to be cruel to be kind. A lot of mothers should listen to this interview.There is no one like a good mother.

    Is there anyone who can give me a list of successful black people in UK so that I can print it out for my children and stick on their walls,we live in a predominantly white area with very friendly people but I'd like them to see black excellence and representation and know that they can also be those people.

      Hello I'm not from an english speaking country, actually I'm togolese and french ✌🏿
      But I know that Olukemi Olufunto also knowns as Kemi Badenoch is a successful Nigerian British politician. I think she is Minister for women and equalities, president of Board of trade and secretary of state for business and trade...so very successful ! Maybe she will be part of your list 😊

    Beautiful conversation.
    Thank you to such amazing ladies, but unfortunately and respectfully I think that we cannot remake things to suit everybody as far as this world is concerned. Minority or majority will consistently have an opinion to how it should. So going by that there might not be any stability.
    My humble opinion.

    'How did your Mom know you were watching t.v'?
    I would walk in after work and touch the t.v!
    'Hot'!!
    Trouble,'wahala' for my boys.
    They're lucky I didn't know how to mess up the wires!!
    Thankfully,the trouble,'wahala' I gave my boys tendered to limit the 'watching of t.v.-without -hours-supposed-to-be-put-into-work;ACADEMIC WORK!

    Zain is disappointing. While the wig and phonetics and foreign name? Look at chimananda

      They have different backgrounds. Zain lived in the UK all her life, you can't possibly think that hasn't moulded her in any way.

      With all due respect, that's a parochial view which holds no relevance to the context being discussed. I think these two brilliant ladies do us proud in their own peculiar disposition while exhibiting the same strong affiliation to their root when it concerns grief.
