Former United States Vice President Kamala Harris has formally announced that she will engage in a public conversation with acclaimed Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie at the London Literature Festival on Thursday, as part of her ongoing 107 Days international book tour.
In an official statement shared via her X (formerly Twitter) account on Tuesday, Harris expressed her anticipation for the forthcoming dialogue, writing:
“I look forward to being in conversation with Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie on Thursday as part of the London Literature Festival.”
The London engagement — which has already sold out — constitutes one of several global appearances included in Harris’s 107 Days promotional tour, launched shortly after the memoir’s release on September 23, 2025.
According to remarks published on the book’s official website, Harris described the writing process as “living the campaign in reverse — rewinding each moment and experiencing it all over again.” The memoir is presented as a candid and introspective account of what she termed “the shortest presidential campaign in modern history,” offering readers a behind-the-scenes look at the challenges, lessons, and emotional rigors of her brief 2024 presidential bid.
The 107 Days tour has thus far featured Harris in discussion with a range of prominent cultural and media figures, including comedian Roy Wood Jr., media host Charlamagne Tha God, social commentator Lynae Vanee, and writer Don Staley, across several U.S. cities.
The conversation with Adichie — renowned for her works Americanah, Half of a Yellow Sun, and We Should All Be Feminists — is scheduled to take place on Thursday, October 23, at the Southbank Centre as part of the London Literature Festival, in partnership with Foyles.#newsafro_
