Elaine Welteroth, "More Than Enough"

Elaine Welteroth discusses her book, "More than Enough".

Award-winning journalist, judge on the new Project Runway, and former editor-in-chief of Teen Vogue, Elaine Welteroth gives readers a riveting and timely coming-of-age tale with More Than Enough: Claiming Space for Who You Are (No Matter What They Say). Intimate and inspiring, and brimming with vulnerability, humor, and hard-earned wisdom, Welteroth explores race, identity, power, ambition, and what it means to come into your own on your terms. Part memoir, part manifesto, and a powerful declaration from one of the most admired media trailblazers and (s)heroes of recent years, this book is an honest portrait of what success really looks like, and a moving affirmation for anyone who’s ever been told “no”—and didn’t listen.

Welteroth is in conversation with Brittany Packnett, vice president of national community alliances for Teach for America, a co-founder of Campaign Zero, and a member of President Barack Obama's 21st Century Policing Task Force.
