520 |a When Valerie Jarrett interviewed a promising young lawyer named Michelle Robinson in July 1991 for a job in Chicago city government, neither knew where that meeting might take them. Jarrett would go on to become a trusted friend and advisor to Michelle and Barack Obama and one of the most visible, influential African American women of the twenty-first century. Jarrett shares her experience as a mother, daughter, and woman who has experienced the magic that happens once we cas aside any unrealistic expectations of a perfect life or a perfect outcome. In Fiinding My Voice, she offers a galvanizing testatment to the power in staying open to a change in course and an embrace of the uncomfortable.
