Chimamanda & Lupita Nyong'o Might Collaborate on Americanah Movie
Nigerian author, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, was thrust into mainstream culture when an excerpt from her TEDTalk on feminism was added to Beyonce's latest album, but she's long been a decorated writer in the literary world.
Her most recent novel, Americanah, a story about a young Nigerian woman who emigrates to America for a college was just awarded the National Book Critics Circle Award. And now, it looks like we might be seeing a film adaptation of it with none other than Hollywood's current "It girl" Lupita Nyong'o
Recently, Adichie spoke with Arise Entertainment 360 and shared the news: "I'm going to do the mysterious thing and say that Lupita [Nyong'o] might be making an announcement very soon," she said. "I don't know. That announcement might be about Americanah."
