Jarrett soon became Michelle and Barack Obama's trusted personal adviser and family confidante; in the White House, she was known as the one who "got" him and helped him engage his public life. Jarrett joined the White House team on January 20, 2009 and departed with the First Family on January 20, 2017, and she was in the room--in the Oval Office, on Air Force One, and everywhere else--when it all happened. No one has as intimate a view of the Obama Years, nor one that reaches back as many decades, as Jarrett shares in Finding My Voice. Born in Iran (where her father, a doctor, sought a better job than he could find in segregated America), Jarrett grew up in Chicago in the 60s as racial and gender barriers were being challenged. A single mother stagnating in corporate law, she found her voice in Harold Washington's historic administration, where she began a remarkable journey, ultimately becoming one of the most visible and influential African-American women of the twenty-first century. From her work ensuring equality for women and girls, advancing civil rights, reforming our criminal justice system, and improving the lives of working families, to the real stories behind some of the most stirring moments of the Obama presidency, Jarrett shares her forthright, optimistic perspective on the importance of leadership and the responsibilities of citizenship in the twenty-first century, inspiring readers to lift their own voices."--Provided by publisher. 505 0 $a The gift of freedom -- Inheritance -- The best laid plans -- It's a girl! -- The quiet voice -- Change from the ground up -- My best hire ever -- The power of each voice -- Drinking from a fire hose -- Pinch myself moments -- The fight of our lives -- Where's my boom? -- We can't wait -- Rollercoaster -- True north -- The changing of the guard -- The long view. 600 10 $a Jarrett, Valerie, $d 1956- 600 10 $a Obama, Barack $x Friends and associates. 600 10 $a Obama, Michelle, $d 1964- $x Friends and associates. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 2009-2017. 650 0 $a Presidents $z United States $x Staff. 650 0 $a African American lawyers $v Biography. 650 0 $a Politicians $z Chicago $z Chicago $v Biography. 650 0 $a Lawyers $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a African American women $v Biography. 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 25 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20240417014859.0 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314015712.0 952 $l BRPD251 $d 20240119015002.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012014304.0 952 $l CMPE792 $d 20230629014044.0 952 $l GMPD771 $d 20230210022029.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909053621.0 952 $l BVPE851 $d 20220728015049.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722060953.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20200529020417.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20200318013744.0 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20200130011907.0 952 $l HNPC845 $d 20191112012540.0 952 $l VKPE334 $d 20190820010837.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20190802010741.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20190625011240.0 952 $l YTPG232 $d 20190614015048.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20190614010451.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20190606011124.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20190604033134.0 952 $l CYPF706 $d 20190524010146.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20190507011220.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20190502032845.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20190502011532.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20190405010536.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=AD75D9B2576811E9B33BA95B97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
