So a New York Times best-selling author, award-winning journalist, and a producer and judge on the new project Runway.

Elaine Walthoroth is kind of known for her groundbreaking work at the home of Teen Vogue,

where she was appointed the youngest ever editor-in-chief at a Condi NAS publication in 2017,

really transforming the brand into a platform not just for fashion and beauty,

but for activism and advocacy, with groundbreaking and often rule-breaking features and articles

that were not afraid to take a powerful stand in a world that felt like it was a bit in need of that.

Elaine was recently appointed cultural ambassador for Michelle Obama's When We All Vote initiative.

Her writing appears in the New York Times, British Vogue, the Hollywood reporter.

She's written for the hit show Grownish and has appeared on camera for a range of media outlets,

including ABC News and Netflix, and Elaine's book More Than Enough,

claiming space for who you are no matter what they say, became an instant New York Times best-seller,

and was the recipient of the 2020 NAACP Image Award for outstanding literary work as an autobiography

She's becoming a leading expert and too advocate for the next generation of change makers,

and interestingly enough, it all began when Elaine stumbled upon a profile in a magazine that would

introduce her to a mentor who would change the course of her life as she now so often does for so many.

I'm so curious about so many moments along the way for you, especially what you've accomplished

is pretty stunning. But it seems like there were so much foreshadowing from the earliest of days

in your life. You tell the story about the three-year-old beauty pageant, which I think speaks so much

to what would ensue for the next 30 years of your life.

It is interesting how when you look back, it all makes sense. I found it really interesting to

write this book and to co-together all those stories that really do kind of form this full picture
