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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow, in her forthright and optimistic memoir, Jarrett shares her experience as a mother, daughter, and woman who's experienced the magic that happens once we cast aside any unrealistic expectations of a perfect life or a perfect outcome. In \u003ci\u003eFinding My Voice\u003c\/i\u003e, she offers a galvanizing testament to the power in staying open to a change in course and an embrace of the uncomfortable. Only then, she argues, can we move forward together and truly learn to value--and listen to--our own voices.","brand":"Valerie Jarrett","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Trade paperback (US)","offer_id":48035460219092,"sku":"9780525558156","price":25.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/9208\/files\/BNCImageAPI_665a00e9-9e11-4e48-8140-e681008e86a8.jpg?v=1780351651","url":"https:\/\/penguinshop.ca\/products\/9780525558156","provider":"Penguin Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
