Elaine Welteroth 

From the event description:

Politics and Prose is honored to host an evening with Elaine Welteroth for a discussion of her new book, More Than Enough: Claiming Space for Who You Are (No Matter What They Say). Award-winning journalist, judge on the new Project Runway and former editor-in-chief of Teen Vogue, Welteroth gives readers a riveting and timely coming-of-age tale. 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.

When: Saturday, June 15, 7-8 p.m.
Where: Sidwell Friends School, Meeting House and Arts Center, 3825 Wisconsin Ave.
Admission: $15 (ticket only)
