Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

I think it’s possible to have been a happy child, as I was, and still question and push back with regard to societal conventions.

– Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

The voice of the intelligence is drowned out by the roar of fear. It is ignored by the voice of desire. It is contradicted by the voice of shame. It is biased by hate and extinguished by anger. Most of all it is silenced by ignorance.
