It was so interesting for an interviewer to reveal personal details about his mother in an interview . Well done Chimamanda, this shows how relaxed and natural she is as a person. Lovely, I enjoyed hearing Jon snow and her converse, would love to have heard more. x

I have never seen Jon Snow so relaxed, mesmerised and personable with anybody in an interview. Probably because his wife is from Zimbabwe. He thought was in a coffee shop chatting and chilling :-D

Reading the comment section before going into the video had me thinking He would be cutting her off and be overall dismissive. But Jon Snow just seemed really excited and engaged, like a regular conversation. Yes, he jumped in a beat too early but he had intelligent questions.

I LOVE the way she responds with the subtle low voiced comebacks and then she brings her voice up a slight octave to drive her point home. Love it!

Hair is a woman's crown. I love Chimamanda

the hair convo with this staunch british man made le laugh a bit I have read both americanah and half of yellow sun.. and they were amazing, honest in their simplicity and bold in observation. its really refreshing to have this African female voice in our times

She's fabulously smart, intelligent, ( yes there is a difference,) so very self possessed, and beautiful. She also talks about things that the African American woman cannot broach, or chooses not to.

And we have loved learning about our hair, how to care for it properly so it will stay moist and grow.. things I never knew growing up.. she's only 13, but as a young black woman, it's important for her to not be ashamed of her natural fro, and she's not! She wears it out anyhow! I could go on.. we lived our locks, but nothing beats having your natural hair out 🥰😍🥰

Can this lady get less great ever??!! Such Elegance when speaking!!! Surely a Legend in the making

The fact that they cast a mixed girl for Half of a Yellow Sun's Olanna annoys me. Like she looks nothing like Olanna was described I think Munachi Abii would have been the best actress to portray Olanna.

As an American growing up, I never looked at magazines for what was important in women’s hair and style. I had curly/wavy hair and now I’m in my 30s with natural silver and brown curly/wavy hair

I would like to know if this journalist talks over all his guests like this, or if he feels more comfortable talking over her because she's a black woman.

Snow like a school boy lovely interview

Visited Johannesburg on 2017. Saw nothing but straight hair, weaves, and extension on a lot sisters there. A little disappointing because I wasn't expecting it, but they were all so beautiful ❤️proud and doing extremely well. Most black Americans have no clue how bad black people had it in South africa. the apartheid wasn't the beginning of it. It went on for centuries. Thanks to the Nelson Mandela he saved the day and livelihood of black South africans!

The way she says « aaaahhhh » 🥰❤️

Great convo!

I enjoyed the interview

Chimamanda is my queen I aspire to be like her

She says the standard of "beutiful hair" is straight not afro, but I think her her style is stunning, it's just so classy and lady-like that I don't think anybody would have a problem with it, plus she's a beautiful woman, gosh I love her class and the way she speaks never raising her voice but with such a presence that makes people listen. By the way, I think the interviewer was fine, he was engaging and enjoying their conversation, she was enjoying herself as well, if he would only ask questions and let her do all the talking it would feel like he didn't give a damn...

I love everything about her.

This lady is Exude Womanhood of the highest order and Class.

Great interview

I every culture and color for woman hair is a statement who they are. For the Hopi tribe they had a styl that the younger would wear and when the became a woman it changed but was the same as the older woman. Our mothers and aunties taught us who we were and who we belonged. Braids and corn rolls were for every one at a time in history. We belonged to a tribe that belonged to a nation of other tribes.

An African woman makes a statement to the world ... By the way she chooses to wear her hair !!......!!! That is the only statement ,that cannot be taken away from her period !!!!!

Leave our mukwasha(in-law) alone, Jon did a wonderful job. This was a conversation, it didn't feel like an interview to me. I felt I was eavesdropping into an interesting conversation that I had the good luck to come across.

I could care less about hair style. If they can do the job and their resume backs them up with no lies on their resume then hire them asap! But the flip side if the political hair violates safety rules for job that could be dangerous then yes do not hire them or demand either they cut their hair or take care of their hair in a manner that will satisfy the safety requirements.

Love the way Jon snow interacts with interviewees. Him, crishnan guru Murphy and of course sir Trevor McDonald are by far the best we have in uk journalism

He is married to a Zimbabwe woman.

It's as if they were flirting. Lovely interviews.

Talk about active listening... Its a skill the host needs to learn. I just couldn't handle those interruption🙄🙄🙄 shoooosh

she's wonderful ox

Very interesting observation ,why was the flag of US bigger and bolder than the Nigerian flag ?She is Nigerian .right ..at the beginning ,then they think they realised and made it similarly equal

One question, why did they put the Nigerian flag behind the American flag?

So many interjections :| STOP

She is a bit too frank for the British audience. But as a Black woman I wear a wig because I have no time to wear my own hair. Not because I think straight hair is more beautiful. All women's hair is political. Not just Black people.

I think the most ridiculous thing in Half a yellow sun, was casting a mixed race person and a black person ad twins. I know Thandie Newton had a tan/dark make-up, at the start if the film - but it was purely foolish.

Listen and learn bro!!!!!!!!!!

Hair is absolutely political. Conservative styles, avant garde styles, natural color vs bleached blonde or pink/purple/blue, urban styles, rural styles, high maintenance or low maintenance, natural Afro or straightened. With chemicals, women can do almost anything with their hair. Cultures and sub-cultures have norms. Remember the Beetles hair cuts, the journey between 1950s conservative to 1960s flower power and free love long hair.

did i just hear a line insinuating toxicity in interracial marriages from Snow?

I think if she thought he was being rude she would have checked him respectfully like she has done other interviewers ...particularly French reporters ...frankly though it did bother me that he kept interrupting, but none the less I love her and yes our hair is political 😬😬💁‍♀️

I love her to death!! She’s wonderful

I hate how the host keeps interrupting before she even gets to the point of what she wants to say!!

She was very patient. He was a bit patronizing. The bit about his mum was besides the point concerning hair and what it represents for black people politically. If you want to know what she thinks about it properly do read Americannah, it is so much more than a "tangled love story" - the romance is actually quite secondary to the novel, it is about culture shock and relationships and, like, the peopleness of people.
