Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie addressed the class of
2015 at Wellesley's 137th Commencement Exercises-
her speech was no doubt awesome and here are
some quotes we can take from it;

"Please love by giving and by taking. Give and be
given. If you are only giving and not taking, you'll
know. You'll know from that small and true voice
inside you that we females are so often socialized
to silence. Don't silence that voice. Dare to take."

"We can not always bend the world into the
shapes we want but we can try, we can make a
concerted and real and true effort."
"Minister to the world in a way that can change
it. Minister radically in a real, active, practical, get
your hands dirty way."

"All over the world, girls are raised to be make
themselves likeable, to twist themselves into shapes
that suit other people. Please do not twist yourself
into shapes to please. Don't do it. If someone likes
that version of you, that version of you that is false
and holds back, then they actually just like that
twisted shape, and not you. And the world is such
a gloriously multifaceted, diverse place that there
are people in the world who will like you, the real
you, as you are."

"I don't mean to sound precious but please don't
waste your time on earth, but there is one
exception. The only acceptable way of wasting your
time on earth is online shopping."

"Never ever accept 'Because You Are A Woman'
as a reason for doing or not doing anything."
