More Than Enough: Claiming Space for Who You Are
I couldn’t help but think when I read Elaine Welteroth’s ‘More Than Enough’ that this is the kind of book I wish I’d had available to read when I was at the very start of my career. It’s packed with both career and life advice for anyone who is seeking to find their own voice, and who feels like they don’t belong or isn’t on the traditional path. While most of us don’t have as remarkable a journey as Elaine, her story is an inspiration and feels like an important reflection on the ways in which young women today can challenge the status quo.

About the book:
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 an 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 often 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.
