She's stunning in every way.

I was bothered by the interrupting too, but I really got the feeling that it was not ill intended. I think he was interested in what she was saying and wanted to know more, keep the conversation going. And she was great like always.

I liked the interview flip she did about his mother's wigs, very charming. She made it a conversation instead of an interview!

It was so interesting for an interviewer to reveal personal details about his mother in an interview . Well done Chimamanda, this shows how relaxed and natural she is as a person. Lovely, I enjoyed hearing Jon snow and her converse, would love to have heard more. x

OMGGGG Jon Snow! She cant even get a sentence out without you interrupting. We don't want to hear what you have to say, we are interesting in what SHE has to say.

He's besotted by her, like a little child who ask lot's of questions but can't wait to hear the answers! They are both adorable in their own way.

I love this woman so much. she's courageous, eloquent and witty.

I have never seen Jon Snow so relaxed, mesmerised and personable with anybody in an interview. Probably because his wife is from Zimbabwe. He thought was in a coffee shop chatting and chilling :-D

shes so beautiful, her eyes just sparkle

She is so beautiful. So fearfully and wonderfully made.

It's so frustrating when Jon Snow is constantly interrupting her!! Let her speak, jeeez

Can we mention he's wearing green tie and socks to homage her country? How cool was that?

With Love from South Africa

Reading the comment section before going into the video had me thinking He would be cutting her off and be overall dismissive. But Jon Snow just seemed really excited and engaged, like a regular conversation. Yes, he jumped in a beat too early but he had intelligent questions.

She's a great writer period. No need to add that she is a great African writer.

I LOVE the way she responds with the subtle low voiced comebacks and then she brings her voice up a slight octave to drive her point home. Love it!

Y'all need to relax with the Jon Snow critics. This is not disrespect. His job is to control the flow of the convo. I think she was perfectly at ease and able to express herself.

the hair convo with this staunch british man made le laugh a bit I have read both americanah and half of yellow sun.. and they were amazing, honest in their simplicity and bold in observation. its really refreshing to have this African female voice in our times

She's fabulously smart, intelligent, ( yes there is a difference,) so very self possessed, and beautiful. She also talks about things that the African American woman cannot broach, or chooses not to.

Hair is a woman's crown. I love Chimamanda

I went natural in March this year and I've never felt so much in love with myself like I do now🥰 I feel like a queen when i show people that i don't care what they think of me i have my natural 4c no straightening👌 😁😁😁😁

Hair is a political statement! Totally agree. I love this woman

I really do like this women, she is so powerful in many ways. I love to listen to her speeches

I don't know why people think Jon was intentionally interrupting her because she's black Me I think he liked her so much. You could see in Jon's eyes as if he can't seem to get enough of Chima. He is even telling her about his mother. I think it was a way of flirting with chima

Can this lady get less great ever??!! Such Elegance when speaking!!! Surely a Legend in the making

This was such a beautiful interview.

The fact that they cast a mixed girl for Half of a Yellow Sun's Olanna annoys me. Like she looks nothing like Olanna was described I think Munachi Abii would have been the best actress to portray Olanna.

As an American growing up, I never looked at magazines for what was important in women’s hair and style. I had curly/wavy hair and now I’m in my 30s with natural silver and brown curly/wavy hair

I have no idea why this woman is showing up in my feed, but I am well pleased! Thank you KZfaq, thank you!

Her Hair is beautifuuuulll...

Chimamanda you are amazing

What a delightful woman! Great interview.

I enjoyed the interview

Very true . Why is it that African female law students are told only to present and go for moot court only In relaxed hair and wigs but not in their own natural hair? This indicates a sign of racism in the English law itself. Please I need an answer from #Chimamanda Ngozi please 🙏🏾

Some Europeans find it hard to accept intelligent black people especially our black women

Great convo!

Like a chat between friends, both good people. 👌🏾

Nigerian names are so beautiful!!

Snow like a school boy lovely interview

Her outfit and hair style is Amazing! Beautiful!

Great interview

Good questions, I wish she could actually answer those without interruptions every 5 seconds

she is so beautiful

I love everything about her.

Beautiful woman, nice conversation. Jolly good

True beauty comes from within. She's beautiful

I.wouldnt mind acting in one of her films....films. wi th right knowledge and logics.

The way she says « aaaahhhh » 🥰❤️

Beautiful!

I love her... and the movie‼️

I wish to meet her one day 😢

I love you Chimamanda

So glad I found her

She says the standard of "beutiful hair" is straight not afro, but I think her her style is stunning, it's just so classy and lady-like that I don't think anybody would have a problem with it, plus she's a beautiful woman, gosh I love her class and the way she speaks never raising her voice but with such a presence that makes people listen. By the way, I think the interviewer was fine, he was engaging and enjoying their conversation, she was enjoying herself as well, if he would only ask questions and let her do all the talking it would feel like he didn't give a damn...

This lady is Exude Womanhood of the highest order and Class.

I like and respect how she expresses herself! She has some good points!

Chimamanda is my queen I aspire to be like her

Visited Johannesburg on 2017. Saw nothing but straight hair, weaves, and extension on a lot sisters there. A little disappointing because I wasn't expecting it, but they were all so beautiful ❤️proud and doing extremely well. Most black Americans have no clue how bad black people had it in South africa. the apartheid wasn't the beginning of it. It went on for centuries. Thanks to the Nelson Mandela he saved the day and livelihood of black South africans!

Very Interesting.....👏🏽

Loved it

I feel sorry for her that he just does not get the point. A lot of work still has to be done on this topic...Americanah a first step to deconstruct Western ideal of beauty

I would like to know if this journalist talks over all his guests like this, or if he feels more comfortable talking over her because she's a black woman.

you open my eyes.

Half of this sounds flirtatious

Lol...I'm laughing. In Africa there are loads of hairstyles. This hairstyle is simple 😊😊😊 I love it tho😍

Love her calm, sweet vibe. Give Jon Snow a break, I think he was trying to flirt lol.

I love her.

In 6:46 minutes of interview I counted 16 times where he interrupts her.

I have locs I've embraced my hair at last, going back to my roots.

We as a people can claim our power by presentation through our own media outlets.

amazing

STOP CUTTING HER OFF GOSH I TUNED IN TO WATCH HER TALK NOT THE HOST

she's wonderful ox

A man said corkrows😂😂😂

Leave our mukwasha(in-law) alone, Jon did a wonderful job. This was a conversation, it didn't feel like an interview to me. I felt I was eavesdropping into an interesting conversation that I had the good luck to come across.

An African woman makes a statement to the world ... By the way she chooses to wear her hair !!......!!! That is the only statement ,that cannot be taken away from her period !!!!!

Listen and learn bro!!!!!!!!!!

It's as if they were flirting. Lovely interviews.

I every culture and color for woman hair is a statement who they are. For the Hopi tribe they had a styl that the younger would wear and when the became a woman it changed but was the same as the older woman. Our mothers and aunties taught us who we were and who we belonged. Braids and corn rolls were for every one at a time in history. We belonged to a tribe that belonged to a nation of other tribes.

I could care less about hair style. If they can do the job and their resume backs them up with no lies on their resume then hire them asap! But the flip side if the political hair violates safety rules for job that could be dangerous then yes do not hire them or demand either they cut their hair or take care of their hair in a manner that will satisfy the safety requirements.

Talk about active listening... Its a skill the host needs to learn. I just couldn't handle those interruption🙄🙄🙄 shoooosh

The full movie pls

Hair is absolutely political. Conservative styles, avant garde styles, natural color vs bleached blonde or pink/purple/blue, urban styles, rural styles, high maintenance or low maintenance, natural Afro or straightened. With chemicals, women can do almost anything with their hair. Cultures and sub-cultures have norms. Remember the Beetles hair cuts, the journey between 1950s conservative to 1960s flower power and free love long hair.

You know nothing, Jon Snow.

I think if she thought he was being rude she would have checked him respectfully like she has done other interviewers ...particularly French reporters ...frankly though it did bother me that he kept interrupting, but none the less I love her and yes our hair is political 😬😬💁‍♀️

Very interesting observation ,why was the flag of US bigger and bolder than the Nigerian flag ?She is Nigerian .right ..at the beginning ,then they think they realised and made it similarly equal

I think the most ridiculous thing in Half a yellow sun, was casting a mixed race person and a black person ad twins. I know Thandie Newton had a tan/dark make-up, at the start if the film - but it was purely foolish.

😍😍

She was very patient. He was a bit patronizing. The bit about his mum was besides the point concerning hair and what it represents for black people politically. If you want to know what she thinks about it properly do read Americannah, it is so much more than a "tangled love story" - the romance is actually quite secondary to the novel, it is about culture shock and relationships and, like, the peopleness of people.

Love the way Jon snow interacts with interviewees. Him, crishnan guru Murphy and of course sir Trevor McDonald are by far the best we have in uk journalism

I love her to death!! She’s wonderful

I think she's beautiful

He is married to a Zimbabwe woman.

did i just hear a line insinuating toxicity in interracial marriages from Snow?

So many interjections :| STOP

One question, why did they put the Nigerian flag behind the American flag?

Who said you can’t be very intelligent and gorgeously good looking lol

I hate how the host keeps interrupting before she even gets to the point of what she wants to say!!

Hair is political,,,my representation of my hair is ,,,,

She is a bit too frank for the British audience. But as a Black woman I wear a wig because I have no time to wear my own hair. Not because I think straight hair is more beautiful. All women's hair is political. Not just Black people.
