Former senior advisor to President Barack Obama, and longtime friend and colleague of both Barack and Michelle Obama, Valerie Jarrett joins Joy to talk about her book: Finding My Voice: My Journey to the West Wing and the Path Forward, which is now out in paperback. In the book, Valerie talks about her family roots, and her path to the West Wing, and gives sage advice about surviving childhood as the kid who's "different," and asserting your independence as a woman, mom and (in the new afterward) as a grandmother.
