Part-manifesto, part-memoir, from the revolutionary editor who infused social consciousness into the pages of Teen Vogue, an exploration of what it means to come into your own—on your own terms
Throughout her life, Elaine Welteroth has climbed the ranks of media and fashion, shattering ceilings along the way. In this riveting and timely memoir, the groundbreaking journalist unpacks lessons on race, identity, and success through her own journey, from navigating her way as the unstoppable child of an unlikely interracial marriage in small-town California to finding herself on the frontlines of a modern movement for the next generation of change makers.
Welteroth moves beyond the headlines and highlight reels to share the profound lessons and struggles of being a barrier-breaker across so many intersections. As a young boss and often the only Black woman in the room, she’s had enough of the world telling her—and all women—they’re not enough. As she learns to rely on herself by looking both inward and upward, we’re ultimately reminded that we’re more than enough.

This is one of the best memoirs i've read so far! As a Black woman, I felt incredibly seen and could resonate with so much of what Elaine spoke about. She went through her career journey and how she got to where she is now in such a fun and inspiring way that made me so excited to show up fully, and ready to go after my own dreams. The way the book is written makes you feel like she is a good friend, someone that you want to hang out and chat with. And let's not forget, the cover is CAPTIVATING.
This book is a mirror that I am currently looking through, struggles that I have, visions and goals that I wish to accomplish and a hope for love. Everything that I needed, she discussed and experienced. Often times we go through hardships and life and we hold them in because they are too embarrassing but she shared her trials and mistakes and used it as a lesson to be better. Thank you, Auntie Elaine. Anyone reading this or planning to will have an absolute joy of a time.
