More Than Enough

Product Description

A memoir from the revolutionary editor credited with bringing social consciousness to the pages of Teen Vogue and an inspiring exploration of what it means to be enough Throughout her life and a meteoric career in media that steadily defied expectation, Elaine Welteroth has grappled with restrictive labels--not black enough, not white enough, not old enough, not young enough, not 'fashion enough,' not smart enough. But she's had enough of the world telling her--and all women--that they're not enough. In her motivational story, the groundbreaking journalist unpacks liberating lessons on race, identity, and success--from her own journey navigating the complexities of growing up mixed-race in America to transforming the Teen Vogue brand into a vehicle for social change and ultimately disrupting the media's narrative on beauty for young women across the world. As Welteroth learns to rely on herself by looking both inward and upward, we're ultimately reminded that we're not only just enough, but more than enough.A memoir from the revolutionary editor credited with bringing social consciousness to the pages of Teen Vogue and an inspiring exploration of what it means to be enough Throughout her life and a meteoric career in media that steadily defied expectation, Elaine Welteroth has grappled with restrictive labels--not black enough, not white enough, not old enough, not young enough, not 'fashion enough,' not smart enough.
