The first Black woman elected to the U.S. Senate, Carol Moseley Braun, is set to release a memoir titled “Trailblazer: Perseverance in Life and Politics” on Jan. 21 next year. This announcement was made by Hanover Square Press, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers.

In her memoir, Moseley Braun will reflect on her remarkable career in public service, starting from her early days in Illinois politics to her tenure in the Senate during the 1990s. She will also delve into her groundbreaking appointment as the first Black woman U.S. ambassador to New Zealand, a role she held from 1999 to 2001.

Throughout the book, Moseley Braun will share insights into her relationships with influential figures such as Gloria Steinem, Maya Angelou, Hillary Clinton, and President Joe Biden. Notably, President Biden nominated her for the position of chair of the board of directors of the United States African Development Foundation in 2023, a role she officially assumed this spring.

At 76 years old, Moseley Braun expressed her perspective on her life's journey, stating, “My life has been filled with serendipity, adventure, and adversity, all underpinned by my unwavering faith in God.”
