5/23/2023 0 Comments We should all be feminists tedThis is one of my favorite TED Talks because I think that it highlights the fact that, no, women do not have equal rights everywhere, and, yes, feminism does matter. Adichie eventually embraced her feminist values, upset that she would come in second to boys, be regarded as a sex-worker because she wanted her own hotel room in a nice hotel in Nigeria, and be ridiculed by people she knew. Nigeria is vastly male-centered, and being a feminist was someone who was “unhappy and hated men”. She goes on to tell her story about her connection to feminism and how being a feminist was growing up. Adichie starts out by explaining what it was like growing up in Nigeria and how when she was a young kid, she was called a feminist as an insult. I first saw it a couple of years ago, but I thought it was a really important TED talk. One of my favorite TED Talks is this one by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.
