She describes her resolve as a young girl to honor this legacy and realize her dreams- from hearing stories of her grandparents and parents breaking barriers in the segregated South, to honing her voice in high school as an oratory champion and student body president, to graduating magna cum laude from Harvard, where she performed in musical theater and improv and participated in pivotal student organizations.Here, Justice Jackson pulls back the curtain, marrying the public record of her life with what is less known. She reveals what it takes to advance in the legal profession when most people in power dont look like you, and to reconcile a demanding career with the joys and sacrifices of marriage and motherhood.Through trials and triumphs, Justice Jacksons journey will resonate with dreamers everywhere, especially those who nourish outsized ambitions and refuse to be turned aside. This moving, openhearted tale will spread hope for a more just world, for generations to come. Author Biography Ketanji Brown Jackson was born in Washington, D.C., and grew up in Miami, Florida.
