Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson embarks on book tour to share her story

Ketanji Brown Jackson, the first Black woman Supreme Court justice, is promoting her memoir, “Lovely One,” detailing her journey to the highest court in the land. Raised with a pride in her African heritage, Jackson recounts her climb up the success ladder, her interracial marriage, motherhood, and raising a daughter with autism. Her children gave their approval for her Supreme Court nomination, despite potential unwanted attention. Jackson remains tight-lipped about her two years on the court, avoiding comments on recent controversial opinions and ethics controversies. While she supports adding teeth to the court’s ethics code, she has not revealed her stance on 18-year term limits for justices. Despite recent rulings that have led to a loss of respect for the court among some, supporters like Orandra Cotton believe Jackson will do the right thing. Jackson’s memoir event drew a diverse and enthusiastic audience, including Cotton, who expressed pride and optimism in seeing a Black woman on the Supreme Court, continuing to step into greatness despite challenges. Jackson remains focused on sharing her personal story and experiences, offering insight into her journey to the Supreme Court while navigating the responsibility and expectations that come with being a trailblazing Justice.
