President Obama’s senior adviser and First Friend, Valerie Jarrett has a compelling story to tell. Her great-grandfather was the first African American graduate of MIT, her grandfather the first black man to head the Chicago Housing Authority and her father the first black resident at Chicago’s St. Luke’s Hospital. She goes well beyond her White House years in her new book, Finding My Voice. She will share the personal and family experiences that make her optimistic about the power of raising our voices.
