1) Talk on importance of story / Literature :-

=> In this video she talks identity. she talks about that how identity is connected with our culture, Colour of skin. through this identity markers everybody judges our character. she also refers Chinua Achebe and camara Laye. skin colour also has a part of literature. thorough the literature peoples knew the another story. in single story everybody focus on one Purseption. 

2) We should All be Feminist :-

=> In this second video she talked on female character and feminism. she focused on reality of the world so that she remains into our mind. she shared as a black skin woman which types of problem and issues facing by her? through the gender there were taken differences into caring and growing. she shared her school experience where she rejected as a monitor into the class.

3) Talk on importance of youth in post-truth Era :-

c

=> In this last video she addresses the students at Harward, Cambridge University. where she gives some motivation and asked about writing. she says if our writing was not praising or recommended then also stuck with your ideas. if we are real and we have confidence on our writing then we should write and expose it to the world. so, at last i like to conclude that she was a very influential writer of Nigeria and she has a power in her speech to speak truth of whatever happens with her.
