The Chicago Humanities Festival presents an Evening with Valerie Jarrett.

Considered the 'ultimate Obama insider,' Valerie Jarrett was a leader in government at a pivotal moment in American history and the longest serving senior advisor in the Obama White House. Now in her new memoir, Finding My Voice, Jarrett shares her journey and other roles: as a daughter, mother, lawyer, business leader, and public servant. From her work advancing civil rights to some of the real stories behind stirring moments in the Obama presidency, Jarrett brings her forthright, optimistic perspective to the importance of leadership and the responsibilities of citizenship in the twenty-first century. CNN Reporter Laura Jarrett joins her mother for a revealing, candid conversation, moderated by Tina Tchen, former Chief of Staff to First Lady Michelle Obama, examining Jarrett's influence and the nature of trust as a component of political power itself.
