The Light We Carry

These past few years, I've been thinking about how to stay centered in a world filled with so much uncertainty. And that process led me to writing my new book—The Light We Carry—coming out on November 15. Learn more at https://t.co/IZWLMRGTn5. #TheLightWeCarry pic.twitter.com/Eblo8Xoapc

There is so much power in telling our story, sharing our truth, and inviting others into our lives. I’m so proud of @MichelleObama for doing just that in her new book, The Light We Carry, and can’t wait for you to read it. https://t.co/95uGg67Gjv

3 Years Of Becoming

I can't believe it’s been three years since Becoming was released! I’m grateful for every person who read my memoir and shared their own #IAmBecoming story with me—whether it was in person on the book tour or here on social media. I’ve loved hearing you reflect on your journeys. pic.twitter.com/fMb5SRHw7l

Renegades: The Book

Since Bruce @springsteen and I first sat down to record our podcast Renegades: Born in the USA, folks have asked about the stories we told and the people and places that shaped us, and we’re excited for this new book to continue the conversation we started last summer. pic.twitter.com/h0FuZyNJQc

Citadels Of Knowledge

Libraries are citadels of knowledge and empathy—and they’ve played an extraordinarily important role in my life. I spoke with @SmithsonianSec Bunch about our shared love of books, A Promised Land, and the role storytelling plays in shaping our history. pic.twitter.com/jbWdAK7Zkp

Becoming Me

My work with the @GirlScouts has always been so rewarding for me—and I absolutely loved speaking with some of the incredible girls in the Becoming Me program about the young readers’ edition of Becoming. Take a look! #IAmBecoming 💚 pic.twitter.com/tl2qqj7o7I

Well-Read Black Girl Book Club

In each of us, there's a story to be shared—a story that’s sacred and can bring us together. I had such a good time talking with the @WellReadBlkGirl Book Club about A Promised Land because just as they learned about my story, I had a chance to learn from theirs. pic.twitter.com/u6vAXUSK5s
