This is Inside the New York Times Booker View. I'm Pamela Paul.

Joining us now is Actress and Activist Rosemagallon,

an author of a new memoir called Brave. Rosemagallon,

thanks so much for being here.

Thank you Pamela for having me.

So I've got to ask you are on many platforms now.

You're publicly speaking. You have a show on TV right now.

You're on social media. Why did you decide to write a book?

It was always going to happen. My accountant for the last 20 years has been telling me to write a book

with almost the answer to every email I send her when I'm some day I'll write a book of my adventures.

Those have been quite splendid. Behind the scenes, I believe quite a big life

that people didn't know about me did many different things.

The book for me really started. I imagine on the plane coming to America when I guess I was speaking

and unloaded to the woman next to me my seatmate and I was flying across the world with just a tagger on my neck.
