About this listen

Penguin presents the audio edition of More Than Enough, written and read by Elaine Welteroth.

In this part-manifesto, part-memoir, the revolutionary editor who infused social consciousness into the pages of Teen Vogue explores what it means to come into your own – on your own terms.

Elaine Welteroth has climbed the ranks of media and fashion, shattering ceilings along the way. In this riveting and timely memoir, the groundbreaking editor unpacks lessons on race, identity, and success through her own journey, from navigating her way as the unstoppable child of a unlikely interracial marriage in small-town California to finding herself on the frontlines of a modern movement for the next generation of change makers.

Welteroth moves beyond the headlines and highlight reels to share the profound lessons and struggles of being a barrier-breaker across so many intersections. As a young boss and the only black woman in the room, she's had enough of the world telling her – and all women – they're not enough. As she learns to rely on herself by looking both inward and upward, we're ultimately reminded that we're more than enough.

So beautiful and encouraging for all girls and women alike! The special appearance by Elaine's parents was so good for my heart. I found myself replaying the stern words of Elaine's mother from the chapter "When it all falls down" over and over again while in the process of ending a messy situationship. Elaine's boss moves and all too real shared experiences with love, career, and racism was all the confrontation this polynesian brown girl from New Zealand needed! So well written and comforting words (and might voice as well) in a day where self worth and self love is hard to focus on in the face of so many shiny and quick-fix distractions. Sis if you've ended up here at this audible? This book will have you looking at your own life in the grateful, hopeful, and if-she-can-i-can too kind of way.

I loved this so much!

I fell in love with Elaine by watching one interview of hers. She has the voice and wisdom of an angel. Elain is an inspiration to any young female trying to make it in this crazy world. This book is a page-turner. I will certainly be listening to it again.
