I Lived to Tell the Story

De: Tamika D. Mallory

Narrado por: Tamika D. Mallory

A raw, heartfelt memoir “full of reflection” (Vanity Fair), perseverance, redemption, and triumph from Tamika D. Mallory, trailblazing social justice leader, activist, and cofounder of the Women’s March.

In I Lived to Tell the Story, Tamika Mallory takes us beyond the headlines and podiums, offering an unfiltered look at the moments that shaped her—not just as an activist but as a woman navigating love, loss, and self-discovery.

From her early days as the daughter of civil rights organizers in Harlem to her battles with the personal pain that many never imagined—the trauma of sexual assault, the pressures of motherhood, the fallout of public scrutiny, and the fight to reclaim her peace—this is Tamika as the world has never seen her before.

A follow-up to her “masterful” (Marc Lamont Hill) debut, State of Emergency, which confronted the murders of Breonna Taylor and George Floyd, this memoir ventures deeper into her journey. Tamika shares untold stories of resilience, courage, and internal struggles while waging war against injustice in America.

At its core, I Lived to Tell the Story is not just about activism; it’s about what happens after the smoke clears. It’s about healing, survival, and the power of truth to bring us closer to ourselves and one another.

Inspiring Story About Being Your Best Self Even Through (and after) Hard Times

I love this book; Tamika has a great narrating voice as well. If you’ve ever been down and doubting yourself, this is the book to read! The story came from the heart and you could tell. It was raw and vulnerable and inspiring and hopeful. She put it all out there and showed how at the end, if you are determined to be great, you will be NO MATTER WHAT. Great read!! I gifted 2 to friends as well!

Powerful personal story.
