UPHILL A Memoir

Jemele Hill may be infamous for comments she made on Twitter about President Trump, but she is also a respected sports journalist with a career that spans several decades. In this memoir she narrates events from her personal and professional lives. Hill describes her sometimes challenging upbringing, as well as her rocky relationship with her mother, without descending into melodrama. Hill's journalism career, beginning when she was in high school, is impressive; she narrates the facts of her path with understandable pride but without bragging. Even difficult career choices, such as her decision to leave ESPN, are presented in a thoughtful way, though it is clear that Hill still feels deeply about the choices she made. Every story told is more powerful for being narrated by Hill. K.M.P. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine [Published: JANUARY 2023]
