So last night I came across a speech by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. For those who don't know her, here's a little biography on her.
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie a renowned Nigerian novelist was born in Nigeria in 1977. She grew up in the university town of Nsukka, Enugu State where she attended primary and secondary schools, and briefly studied Medicine and Pharmacy. She then moved to the United States to attend college, graduating summa cum laude from Eastern Connecticut State University with a major in Communication and a minor in Political Science.
In the video, she talks about gender barrier and how the society plays a big influence. She also said that the only way to stop the gender barrier is to start raising our future children to understand the concept of equality. The video is 30 minutes long, lol sorry :p, but it is worth it. Enjoy.
