Culture Shock: Episode 116

Introduce yourself
Hi, my name is Adaora and I’m a Sports Illustrated model
Talk a bit about your background as a Nigerian…were you born here…
I was born in Connecticut, however, both my parents are Nigerian.  They are Igbo and I got a chance to live in Nigeria when I was younger for almost six years.
What was that experience like?
{laughs} I was ten when I went.  I understood the language, you know my parents speak Igbo around me and stuff, and I understood it.  I knew a few words here and there but I really can’t speak it, so when I went there it was like, alright, this is different.  The kids were so mean to me because I dressed differently and I spoke differently.  You know, I just didn’t sound like them so it was an adjustment.  Eventually I learned how to fit in.  I gradually lost my American accent, I almost blended in except for the fact that I was 5 ft 11 inches at age 10 {laughs}.
