Watching Adichie gives me a hope of a fulfilled life. A life which I have always desired, a life of my dream, a life of a writer.

I was in the audience and can say this was very inspiring and it changed my literary perspectives. Later l also met Yvonne Owuor and together l had the two books autographed.
