She has received multiple awards and honours, including the Orange Broadband Prize for Fiction (2007) and a MacArthur Foundation Fellowship (2008).

Adichie’s 2009 TED Talk, ‘The Danger of A Single Story’, is currently one of the most viewed TED Talks ever. Her 2012 talk ‘We Should All Be Feminists’ began a global conversation about women's liberation and feminism, so much so that it was later published as a book in 2014.
