Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie Quote
Please note that I am not suggesting that you raise her to be non-judgemental, which is is a commonly used expression these days, and which slightly worries me. The general sentiment behind the idea is a fine one, but non-judgmental can easily devolve into meaning don't have an opinion about anything or I keep my opinions to myself. And so, instead of that, what I hope for Chizalum is this: that she will be full of opinions, and that her opinions will come from an informed, humane, and broad-minded place.
