Professional Troublemaker: The Fear-Fighter Manual by Luvvie Ajayi Jones

Available March 2

Despite being a published author and podcast host, Luvvie Ajayi Jones found she was afraid to call herself a writer because she feared the title. And she nearly skipped out on giving a TED Talk that changed her life because of impostor syndrome. But she’s not alone. Ajayi Jones examines what we must get right within ourselves before we can do the things that scare us; how to use our voice for a greater good; and how to put movement into the voice we’ve been silencing—because truth-telling is a muscle. The point is not to be fearless; it is to recognize the things we must do are more significant than the things we are afraid to do.

(Crispr has been used in China to create “designer babies” that are immune from the AIDS virus, and in the U.S. to cure patients of sickle cell anemia.) Doudna is also a pioneer in discovering the structure of RNA, the molecule that powers Crispr and COVID-19 vaccines.
