More Than Enough

How does race figure into American society’s and media’s beauty metrics? Former editor-in-chief of Teen Vogue Elaine Welteroth brings wit and experience  to bear on these and other penetrating questions in her stunning memoir. The biracial daughter of a Black mother and a Caucasian father, Welteroth addresses the racism inherent in the beauty standards that dominate mainstream media and the fashion press. She decribes the effects of these standards on her emotions and self-image with admirable candor. Her insights into how racism permeates all aspects of the media world will surprise, engage and inspire you, regardless of your background.

Many Firsts

Elaine Welteroth achieved many firsts. She was the youngest person and only the second Black American to lead a Condé Nast publication when she became editor of Teen Vogue.
