Description: Lovely One by Ketanji Brown Jackson Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Ketanji Brown Jackson, the first Black woman to ever be appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court, chronicles her life story and her extraordinary path to becoming a jurist on Americas highest court in this inspiring, intimate memoir.In her inspiring, intimate memoir, the first Black woman to ever be appointed to the Supreme Court of the United States chronicles her extraordinary life story.With this unflinching account, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson invites readers into her life and world, tracing her familys ascent from segregation to her confirmation on Americas highest court within the span of one generation.Named "Ketanji Onyika," meaning "Lovely One," based on a suggestion from her aunt, a Peace Corps worker stationed in West Africa, Justice Jackson learned from her educator parents to take pride in her heritage since birth. She describes her resolve as a young girl to honor this legacy and realize her dreams- from hearing stories of her grandparents and parents breaking barriers in the segregated South, to honing her voice in high school as an oratory champion and student body president, to graduating magna cum laude from Harvard, where she performed in musical theater and improv and participated in pivotal student organizations.Here, Justice Jackson pulls back the curtain, marrying the public record of her life with what is less known. She reveals what it takes to advance in the legal profession when most people in power dont look like you, and to reconcile a demanding career with the joys and sacrifices of marriage and motherhood.Through trials and triumphs, Justice Jacksons journey will resonate with dreamers everywhere, especially those who nourish outsized ambitions and refuse to be turned aside. This moving, openhearted tale will spread hope for a more just world, for generations to come. Author Biography Ketanji Brown Jackson was born in Washington, D.C., and grew up in Miami, Florida.
