Join us for an inspiring conversation with Jamia Wilson, a remarkable social justice activist, writer, and vice president of Random House. We unpack her unique global upbringing and how it ignited her mission to use literature as a bridge between diverse cultures. Jamia shares insights from her celebrated book "Young, Gifted and Black," created with illustrator Andrea Pippins, which empowers young readers by spotlighting influential figures of African heritage. As she recounts her journey from the Middle East to boarding school in the U.S., Jamia challenges us to embrace new experiences and dismantle cultural biases, demonstrating the transformative power of embracing change.
Ever felt overwhelmed by the thought of starting a big project? Jamia offers a refreshing perspective on overcoming such intimidation by breaking tasks into bite-sized steps, much like her metaphorical plunge into the icy Atlantic waters in Ireland. We also explore her upcoming book "Make Good Trouble: Discover Movements that Spark Change," designed to inspire readers of all ages to engage with social movements. Inspired by her late mother's activism, Jamia's message is clear: question, grow, and discover your unique way to make a difference. Tune in for a celebration of young change-makers and a call to action to step into your power.
