More Than Enough

Claiming Space for Who You Are (No Matter What They Say)

De: Elaine Welteroth

Narrado por: Elaine Welteroth, Adenrele Ojo

"Elaine gifts us all with a beautifully intimate and powerful retelling of her ever-unfolding journey. In sharing her joys, pitfalls, adventures, self-doubt, and successes, she reminds us that through uncovering and discovering the many facets of ourselves, we are more than enough." (Yara Shahidi)

"Elaine’s book is a call for young women to find their voice and spark their courage - it's a book I would have loved to discover as a young woman starting my own career." (Reese Witherspoon)

In this part-manifesto, part-memoir, the revolutionary editor who infused social consciousness into the pages of Teen Vogue explores what it means to come into your own - on your own terms

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 a 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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“[Elaine Welteroth’s] impressive career trajectory makes for fascinating reading, but what makes the book especially worthwhile is its depiction of an emergent social and political consciousness so strong that it eventually led her to abandon corporate media for the ‘joy of dancing into [an unknown] future.’ An inspiring memoir by a dynamic groundbreaker.” (Kirkus Reviews)

“The former Teen Vogue editor-in-chief opens up in this revealing memoir about growing up in California as the ambitious child of an ‘unlikely interracial marriage,’ only to become a boundary-breaking journalist - as she shared the lessons learned along the way.”(O, The Oprah Magazine)

“More Than Enough is a guide for young people who want to find their voice, a crash course for those who want to challenge the status quo, and an adventure story for all of us. Young women can learn so much from Elaine's remarkable journey.” (Malala Yousafzai)

“Compelling...More Than Enough discusses race, identity, love, friendship, taking up space as a Black woman in a predominantly white workplace, and the meaning of success. As a change maker and young boss, Welteroth reminds young Black girls and women that they are, indeed, more than enough.”(Women’s Health)

Purpose

Thank you Elaine for sharing your story. I loved listening to your story of purpose and never giving up on you. I would recommend this book for anyone needing an extra push towards your purpose and greatness. What God has for you is for you and no one or thing can take that away.

Only light seeping through

I listened to this book all day. from 10am to 5am the next day! I don't think that anybody who reads it will be left undone. this is my first time hearing about Elaine and I'm so glad that I'm aware of another great role model out there. Thank you for sharing your story. I am so grateful and I will carry this with me for a long time.

Black Girl Magic!!!!

Loved this book....best book I've read so far this year. I liked that it was narrated by the author herself....loved that her parents were involved. That was a pleasant surprise. Very inspirational and would recommend this book to every young girl who is coming of age. Would also recommend to any woman who is at a crossroads in her life.

WOW

There were so many parts of this book when I felt like Elaine was telling my story. I am a couple of years older and not nearly as successful in my career, but she just proved that in the end, and where it really matters, we are all the same.

Awesome Read

I really enjoyed reading this book! It was black girl magic in print. Must Read!

Wonderful and Poignant Story

What a wonderful memoir that constantly rang true for me on so many levels. Wonderful story

Best. Read. Ever.

I already knew this book was going to be amazing. But to have the actual author retelling her own story... all of the emotions were as pure as if everything just happened. Don’t second guess yourself.... GET THIS BOOK!!!

Love Love Love Love

I truly enjoyed this book. So honest and empowering. Thank you Elaine for sharing your story.
