USE THE POWER YOU HAVE A Brown Woman's Guide to Politics and Political Change

Engaging and conversational, Pramila Jayapal delivers both an inspiring story and a motivational call to action. Beginning with her arrival in the U.S. from India at 17, Jayapal pulls in listeners as she shares her personal experiences and the values that guide her personally and professionally. What is most appealing is the authenticity of her narration--she clearly feels a responsibility to share her journey as both a memoir of her immigrant experience and a road map for others to follow. From funny stories about telling her father she was choosing to major in English literature to sharing her challenges battling stereotypes and ignorance through her human rights work, Jayapal has listeners feeling her passion and learning about the tools needed to begin their own advocacy and activism.
