“I Don’t Want To Be Responsible For Traumatising Children” - Chimamanda Adichie by Lutherblaq: 3:55pm On Sep 14, 2023
Nigerian award-winning author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has said that she does not want to be responsible for traumatising children.

In an interview with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour, she described her vision for writing as “too dark” when asked by Amanpour why she delved into children’s literature and life.

Chimamanda went further to describe the moment when Mama’s Sleeping Scarf came to life. It was a moment with her daughter that she tried to capture which ushered her first debut into children’s literature.

“There was this moment when she was still a baby, I’m carrying her she reaches out and pulls my scarf off my head and it just felt to me just this really beautiful special moment, very ordinary…. and so I thought why don’t I try to capture this ordinary beautiful moment for her and also for me.”

There is nothing capturing the essence of the topic in the write-up you posted. Or is it just me

I am sure that the OP over edited it or didn't post the full article

She's already traumatizing the IPOB Obi diotic fools by giving them false hopes with her useless worthless inconsequential letter after the election.
She will not be taking seriously anymore on any important issue. She should tick to children's and fictional books.
