A Conversation with Kamala Harris

The former Vice President tells the story of one of the most consequential presidential campaigns in US history, in conversation with Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.

In this event celebrating the launch of her new memoir, 107 Days, Harris shares what she saw, what she learned and what it will take to move forward.

With nuance, candour and a unique perspective, she leads a conversation about how Americans can collectively chart a blueprint that sets an alternative vision for the country now.

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie grew up in Nigeria. Her work has been translated into more than 55 languages. She is the author of the novels Purple Hibiscus, Half of a Yellow Sun, Americanah and Dream Count, and the essay ‘We Should All Be Feminists’, among others.
