Sunny Hostin

IF THERE’S ONE THING SUNNY HOSTIN IS GOOD AT, IT’S SHARING HER VIEW. “I’ve got a seat at the table at , the most important political show on TV. I can be a champion for people that don’t have a voice.” Now she’s sharing her (HarperOne, September 22). “I’m a person of color, a person with challenges; there’s no roadmap in the book, but it does at least give you a sense that if I can make it, I believe anyone can.” It was important to Hostin to publish the book in English and Spanish, an idea first suggested to her by Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor. “She told me about how she makes sure her books are accessible to Spanish speakers and to have them available in Puerto Rico in particular.” Hostin says growing up she “didn’t have anyone that looked like me doing what I’m doing” and hopes that maybe her book will find its way into English as a second language classes. “Imagine being in a class and you don’t speak the language and you have the opportunity to read my story in Spanish. I think it could be powerful. I hope so.”
