Valerie Jarrett, the ultimate Obama insider and longest-serving senior advisor in the Obama White House, is taking us on a journey through her extraordinary life. Strap in and get ready for an 11-hour and 24-minute audiobook experience that will leave you inspired and awestruck.
In "Finding My Voice," narrated by none other than Valerie Jarrett herself, we witness her rise from a promising young lawyer named Michelle Robinson's interviewer in 1991 to a trusted confidante of Michelle and Barack Obama, and, ultimately, a key player in the White House. Jarrett was the one who "got" Obama and helped him navigate the treacherous waters of his public life. She was there in the Oval Office, on Air Force One, and everywhere else when history was being made. No one has a closer or more comprehensive view of the Obama Years than Jarrett, and she's ready to spill all the beans.
But let's rewind a bit. Jarrett's story begins in Iran, where her father, a doctor, sought a better job than the segregated America could offer him. From there, she grew up in the racially and gender-charged environment of 1960s Chicago. As a single mother working in corporate law, Jarrett's journey truly took off when she found her voice in Harold Washington's administration. Talk about a remarkable journey!
Jarrett's impact goes far beyond her personal achievements. She has dedicated her life to fighting for equality for women and girls, advancing civil rights, reforming the criminal justice system, and improving the lives of working families. You name it, she's done it. And in "Finding My Voice," she shares the real stories behind some of the most powerful and moving moments of the Obama presidency. Get ready to have your heartstrings tugged and your mind blown.
Through it all, Jarrett maintains an unwavering optimism and a forthright perspective on the importance of leadership and the responsibilities of citizenship in the twenty-first century. She's not just telling her story; she's inspiring us to lift our own voices and make a difference in this world.
With an audiobook rating of 4.8 out of 5, "Finding My Voice" is a must-listen for anyone who wants to gain insight into the Obama Years and be motivated to create change. So grab your headphones, turn up the volume, and get ready for an unforgettable journey with Valerie Jarrett.
