Full Frame: African influence with Nnedi Okorafor

"I consider Nigeria to be my muse," said Nnedi Okorafor, a Nigerian-American author of Africanfuturism.

She has won top science fiction and fantasy honors, including the Hugo Award, World Fantasy Award and Nebula Award.

Growing up, Nnedi's parents took often to visit Nigeria. It was during these visits that Nnedi first thought about what her parents' birthplace would look like in the future.

"I started noticing technology and I started noticing it popping up in interesting places whenever we would go to Nigeria, like in the most rural of places," she said. "There's no electricity or running water here, and they use a cell phone. I found that very interesting."
