Strange dreams visited @Nnedi while she was confined for months to a hospital bed. She used these experiences in her strange, fantastical stories to cope — and is now an acclaimed sci-fi author. t.ted.com/d83R52i

"Refugees and displaced people have lost everything. But the refugee crisis is not just about 'them'; it is also about 'us'—what we, living in far greater comfort, stand for and how we see our place in the world."
— @DMiliband, author of the TED Book "Rescue" #WorldRefugeeDay

My memoir BROKEN PLACES & OUTER SPACES is in stores today (@TEDbooks)! My 1st book of nonfiction! 🎆🎉🥳
This book focuses on That Summer.
I walked into That Summer as a 20-year-old athlete and aspiring entomologist.
I flew out of That Summer a stunned writer.

Illustrations from my forthcoming memoir BROKEN SPACES & OUTER SPACES (June 18, @TEDbooks). These were drawn by Shyama Golden. This book isn’t about my whole life; it focuses on the traumatic incident when I was 19 that led me to become a writer instead of an entomologist.

The hardcovers of my forthcoming memoir BROKEN PLACES & OUTER SPACES (June 18, @TEDbooks) have arrived. ✨🎉 This was a tough one to write and there were days when writing out the pain was too much (editing was like reliving it over and over), but I’m so so glad I did it. 💪🏾😊💪🏾
"The book's message is simple—setbacks can lead to breakthroughs—but no less valuable for it."
