Former CNN journalist, Isha Sesay, has showered praises on Nigerian novelist, Chimamanda Adichie, after having dinner with her at an event.
The 43-year-old journalist of Sierra Leonean descent shared a picture of herself and Adichie via Instagram on Friday.
“Too often we don’t tell people how special they are and black women, especially, all too often are left to make do with scraps of praise.
“But I want to take this moment to celebrate an African sister, so full of wit, brilliance, heart and empathy, @chimamanda_adichie – you are a treasure!” she wrote.
Isha Sesay quit CNN after 13 years with the news network in August 2018.
The popular journalist left as the co-anchor of CNN Newsroom in Los Angeles.
In January 2019, Chimamanda Adichie showered praises on Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, describing him as a guiding light.
The 41-year-old saluted Soyinka for his courage.
Chimamanda came to limelight for her first novel titled Purple Hibiscus, published in 2003.
She has gone to write others including Half of a Yellow Sun and Americanah.
