Chidiogo Akunyili-Parr on writing a book about her mother, language and motherhood.

I’m very excited to bring you the first episode of 2022. Today’s conversation is with Chidiogo Akunyili-Parr, a writer, teacher, and daughter of Dorothy Akunyili, a Pan-African hero who battled corruption and faced down misogyny in Nigeria. In this conversation, Chidiogo shares her experience writing this part-autobiography, part memoir; she touches upon language and how each language we speak evokes different parts of our personalities and memories, and we also exchange thoughts on motherhood and healing, and how these two intersect and interwind. This is a very rich conversation. I really hope you can join me to the end. Our Substack subscribers have early access to each episode and exclusive personal letters. Fancy to subscribe?
