My idea for a bookcover of " Americanah" by Chimamandah Ngozie Adichie
I'm reading this book in french . There was in echo in me with this book...i'm gabonese et belgian, I'm a woman who was travel for study and work in europe ,before come back in Gabon to open my business... so i knew those eyes ... but i try in the past and also nowadays to react with humour and wisdom.
― Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Americanah
The only reason you say that race was not an issue is because you wish it was not. We all wish it was not. But it’s a lie. I came from a country where race was not an issue; I did not think of myself as black and I only became black when I came to America. When you are black in America and you fall in love with a white person, race doesn’t matter when you’re alone together because it’s just you and your love. But the minute you step outside, race matters. But we don’t talk about it. ”
THANK YOU FOR WATCHING! :)
