Chimimanda Ngozi Adichie, the Nigerian novelist, is an inspiration to Founder Jade Beall! In her TEDx Talk, Chimimanda's voice, her words, her calm powerful tone imbibe a confidence in her stance as a happy feminist to believe in a future for girls that empowers them.

"Why should a woman's success be a threat to a man?" she asks? In this video, she clarifies the term "feminist", demystifies it, and offers her own definition of this very powerful word.

She argues that we can change how women are viewed in this world: "Culture does not make people, people make culture."

She forcefully raises questions of what is normal about how people think about women and how they think about men. Her poignant positions upends commonly-held beliefs and is a voice for future generations of girls.

Jade has read her novels, word for word, cover to cover, many times over. She has dreamed of meeting Chimimanda one day!
