My guest today, Jameo Wilson, she's an activist, writer, speaker, born in the US.

She then spent a large part of her youth in Saudi Arabia before returning to attend

high school and then college back in the States and then launched a really powerful career

in writing, editing and advocacy.

Now as the director of the feminist press at the City University of New York, which is

this kind of legendary institution and the former VP of programs at the Women's Media Center,

she's kind of become a leading voice on women's rights issues for over a decade.

Her work has appeared in so many different places from New York Times, today's show CNN,

L, BBC, Rookie, Refinery29, just too many places to list.

Jameo is also the author of a whole bunch of books, Young Gifted in Black, The Introduction

and Oral History and together we rise behind the scenes at the protest heard around the

world, step into your power 23 lessons on how to live your best life and so many others.

And she's also the co-author for Roadmap for Revolutionaries, Resistance, Advocacy

and Activism.

She's just an incredible, big-hearted, fiercely committed, intelligent human being on a mission

to give voice to ideas and communities and also step more fully into her own creative

journey in her quest to become fully expressed, so excited to share this conversation with

you on Jonathan Fields and this is Good Life Project.

So you grew up in Columbia, South Carolina or somewhere around there, right?

Right, or first four or five, six years?

Yeah.

Sounds like you're your family.
