This Higher Heights #BlackWomenLead Author Talkback is a conversation with Jamia Wilson, author of "Young, Gifted and Black". Her book takes us across borders, through time and even through space to meet 52 icons of color from the past and present in a celebration of achievement.

In her book we meet figureheads, leaders, and pioneers such as Martin Luther King Jr., Nelson Mandela, and Rosa Parks, as well as cultural trailblazers and sporting heroes, including Stevie Wonder, Oprah Winfrey, and Serena Williams.

We also discover how their childhood dreams and experiences influenced their adult achievements. This book helps the next generation to chase their own dream . . . whatever it may be.
