Wonderfully articulated!

Mrs. Ngozi, I can’t listen to you enough, hope one day I will meet you in person. As African immigrant that was the most confusing thing happened to me the first couple of years of my arrival in the US, everyone identifies the other person based on his skin color black/white/brown… even the forms that you are filling ask you to identify yourself based on your color… I experienced the same thing that you mentioned in your other interviews, things are clear to me after I start understanding the racial relationship in the US. Taking AA history in college totally change me for better understanding why race is the factor in the US … particularly telling my AA brother/sister was difficult for me. Telling them I don’t like to define myself by color of my skin was not taking easily, some think I’m one of those self-haters …. they were very confused, and some thought I hate my skin color… as you tell it where we came from Africa regardless which country we came from “for the exception of SA” we don’t see each other as black… skin color was not the identification factor. Even my own kids who born and raised in US understand who they are the day they step their foot at school, and they totally associate themselves with AA culture, music “which I am agree with them” … I told them my experience when it comes color/race in the US… thank you

As an African-american it is always interesting to hear how Africans see our story.

Exaxtly. Did you catch in the beginning she thought the professor doubts was from her skin? He could've doubted for a million reasons. Language barrier, previous writings, familiarity that sounds off his plagiarism spider senses, etc..... white supremacy got space with free rent consciously or subconsciously in her brain

Nonsense, if I come from predominantly black country race and the colour of my skin is the least thing I will think of. If move to a country where race is used as a tool to divide and rule sure you will not grasp it in the initial stage but surely afterwards. So I see nothing wrong with her statements.

They are the most diverse countries in the world. In the west diversity is race in Africa it's ethnicity and culture.

You didn't label it diversity. You labeled it colonialism.
