TRAILBLAZER A Memoir

Carol Moseley Braun, the first Black woman elected to the U.S. Senate, delivers the prologue to her remarkable story. Then, Golden Voice Narrator Bahni Turpin takes over, weaving Braun's journey of grit, resilience, and groundbreaking achievement into a compelling listening experience. Through Braun's life and career in law and politics, listeners also gain a vivid window onto America's evolving racial and political landscape from the 1960s to today. Braun, through Turpin, candidly shares her pain and triumphs, ranging from her tumultuous childhood to her tenure in the Senate and her term as ambassador to New Zealand. Turpin's well-paced, expressive narration transforms this powerful memoir into both an inspiring individual portrait and an engaging history lesson.
