I Am These Truths: A Memoir of Identity, Justice, and Living Between Worlds by Sunny Hostin

4.0

To be totally honest I had never heard of Sunny Hostin before picking up her memoir, and for that reason I almost DNFed it.

This book ended up being everything I wanted but didn’t get from Kamala Harris’ memoir. (They even have overlap in career background as community prosecutors)

Her discussion on racial identity as a biracial, Afro Latina woman was fascinating to me and prompted so many thoughts and conversations as I shared what I was reading with Michael.

There’s a bit of a tell all about people she worked with at FOX, CNN and ABC, most of those names I’d only vaguely recognized. She goes deep into her journey with infertility. There’s also definitely a lot of self-importance, but when you read her whole story I think that goes to show you how much she had to be her own biggest advocate to get to where she is as a woman of color.
