This was my response in The Guardian 3 years ago when I was asked if my work was a response to the prevalence of whiteness in science fiction.

I’m totally patting “January 2021 Nnedi” on the back. Yes, Nnedi. So much yes, 🙌🏾 :

🚨 In a new article, youth reporting more racial/ethnic discrimination than their siblings showed more advanced pubertal timing (an index of accelerated biological aging). Parents' racial/ethnic identity commitment weakened this discrimination-puberty link within the family!

“What I try to do is write. And it might be just the most boring and awful stuff. But I try. When I’m writing, I write. And then it’s as if the muse is convinced that I’m serious and says, ‘Okay. Okay. I’ll come.”
