In Conversation with Karine Jean-Pierre
Karine Jean-Pierre is the former White House Press Secretary and Senior Advisor to President Joseph R. Biden Jr. Born in Martinique and raised in New York by Haitian immigrant parents, Karine was instilled with the belief that hard work and perseverance could help create a better life for her family. As the first Black person and the first openly queer person to serve as White House Press Secretary, Karine’s achievements offer a powerful reminder of what is possible—while highlighting the ongoing work required to make such opportunities more accessible to all.
Karine Jean-Pierre sits down with documentary filmmaker, Andrea Meyerson, to discuss her journey into politics, her years at the White House serving under President Biden, and her new book, Independent.
Don't miss Karine Jean-Pierre's highly anticipated appearance and provocative conversation. And, hot off the press, all guests will receive a copy of Independent.
ADVANCE PRAISE
"Not your typical Washington book! Karine Jean-Pierre is not angling for her next big job in politics or trying to get you to vote for her—she's cutting a swath through the political class, telling blunt, gritty truths and sparing no one. As she encounters both perfidy and grace from unexpected sources in both parties, the media, and the White House, Jean-Pierre's own story becomes infuriating and inspiring in equal measure. Independent is a truly new and valuable contribution to our understanding of the Biden presidency, the Harris candidacy, the Trump phenomenon, and the Democratic Party's whipsaw fortunes over the last decade. This is a brave firecracker of a book. Well done."
