'Fearless' is the name of writer, activist and philanthropist Sylvia Yu Friedman's latest book, and it's an apt description for the way she lives. From her intrepid adventures in the TV newsroom, to her tireless work fighting for women's rights, including justice for the forgotten comfort women of World War II, she grasps every aspect of her life and career with energy and a steely spirit.

But, courage hasn't always come easily. From experiencing childhood racism to navigating toxic workplace relationships, Sylvia shares how your hardest struggles can shape your strength, and why being vulnerable is sometimes the most fearless thing we can do.
