Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie rose to prominence with the critically acclaimed novel Americanah, a book that straddles the cultures of America and Nigeria and considers the challenges, status, and perceptions of Africans abroad. Adichie is also the author of the novels Half of a Yellow Sun and Purple Hibiscus, the essays We Should All Be Feminists and Notes on Grief, and the story collection The Thing Around Your Neck. Her new book, Dream Count, assesses the valor in becoming happy, being honest about it and trying to protect one’s own.
Anna Malaika Tubbs is the author of The Three Mothers: How the Mothers of Martin Luther King, Jr, Malcolm X, and James Baldwin Shaped a Nation and Erased: What American Patriarchy Has Hidden from Us. She holds advanced degrees in Sociology and Multidisciplinary Gender Studies.
Tickets include a copy of Adichie’s new novel, Dream Count.
