Maybe I should expect that coming from someone in the magazine business. And too much about clothes. But I guess I should expect that because she was editor of Teen Vogue . And her relationships gave me a lot of Carrie Bradshaw vibes. I wish there was more personality. Is that what's missing? I liked hearing about her childhood. And I learned some more lingo. Some of the quotes are noteworthy. This book would have meant a lot more to me if I paid attention to Conde Nast publications. Or I watched the rebooted Project Runway Bravo because she's a judge (I did watch Project Runway beforehand and jumped ship with Heidi and Tim to Amazon's "Making the Cut"). More Than Enough is a beautifully written book with power, honesty, and love. This is the feel-good, inspirational book that I didn’t know I needed or was looking for. Reading it was a cross between “The Year of Yes,” and “We are Going to Need More Wine.” There was no part of this book that I didn’t enjoy, identify with, or learn something from. This is a rare book that drew me in and kept my attention. I loved the way the author shared her life from preschool through adulthood. She shares her struggles, love-life, career aspirations, and dreams. There are moments where she shares mother wit, life quotes and wisdom. This is a good book for young women and anyone who loves a great read. There were many moments of smiles, cheers, and a few wow moments. Hearing her parents love and support was a bonus. Never heard of the author before, but I will be following her career. Do not sleep on this wonderful memoir! More Than Enough: Claiming Space for Who You Are(No Matter What They Say) I Picked Up This Book Because: Saw an interview with the author on the Tonight Show. I’m not sure what I was expecting this book to be but it was way more memoir than I was thinking, which is fine. Elaine’s perspective as a mixed race individual growing up in a world that doesn’t always have a place or know what to do with one was intriguing for me as the auntie of several mixed raced children. She answers lots of questions I want to ask them and though I know their experience might be different it was good to have someone’s answers. We also explore Elaine’s experiences with young love and of course her rise to the top of the publishing industry. I learned quite a lot about an industry that I’ve never given much thought to. The duality of what the public sees and what happens behind closed doors and the toll it takes on individuals is amazing. While this book didn’t inspire me to move mountains it did open my eyes and lead me to think a bit more about my place in the world and my purpose. I wish I had half the conviction and dreams/goals for myself that Elaine had in her early years but I know its not too late and there are still dreams and goals to be discovered for me as well. The Random Thoughts: There were some great quotes in this book and the downside to listening to audiobooks is I’m often not listening in a space where it is conducive to jot them down. Fortunately some people added a few to Goodreads. ”When the world tells you to shrink, expand.” 3.5 Stars sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

"In this part-manifesto, part-memoir, the revolutionary editor who infused social consciousness into the pages of Teen Vogue explores 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 a 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 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"-- No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

Her autobiography is engaging and chatty, where you feel like a close friend. Her ambition, work ethic, vulnerability, and how she conscientiously uses her influence to lift those around her is very inspiring. She shares her experiences, both good and bad, as a young, ambitious, black woman. The part regarding the axing of the print edition of Teen Vogue made me mad.
I highly recommend. :) ( )
