Check out this photo of two literal gurus, Wole Soyinka, and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie shared with endearing words a photo she took with Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka.  She wrote:

You are, for me, a guiding light:

Your courage. The ease with which you inhabit your skin, speaking your mind, unburdened by apology.

Your kindness and humour.

Your utter coolness.

The urgent, terse poetry of The Man Died, the exuberance of Ake; your faith in possibility, in adventure, in progress.

Yes indeed, ‘the mindless ones are neither the total sum nor the true face of humanity.’

Thank you, Prof.
