Nigerian writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie makes a surprise appearance on Flawless, one of the many (for lack of a better word) flawless tracks on Beyoncé’s fifth solo album. The sample comes from a TEDx talk by the writer, where she says: “We teach girls to shrink themselves, to make themselves smaller. We say to girls, ‘You can have ambition, but not too much’.” As Beyoncé’s swirling voice takes a backseat, Adichie continues: “Because I am a female, I am expected to aspire to marriage...But why do we teach girls to aspire to marriage and we don’t teach boys the same? [sic]”
