Vote Like a Boss: A Bold Creative Guide to Democracy. By the People. For the People.

Vote Like a Boss is a love letter to Democracy, a handbook on how it works, and a creative roadmap to make it better.Through this collection of essays, Tiffany Norwood does the hard work to compel us to take our ideas more seriously and to show up like a boss in every part of our lives, including voting. Beyond the title essay, this second edition also includes writings from citizens of all ages on democracy and civil rights, our journey as a nation, and ideas on how to make our democracy even stronger. Contributors range from a middle schooler passionate about climate change encouraging youth to persuade their parents to the polls, to Bob Woodward and Carl Berstein’s (of Nixon scandal fame) acclaimed essay on the five wars against democracy. For continuity, the first edition of Vote Like a Boss is also included, as well as a copy of the Constitution, the Emancipation Proclamation, the Voting Rights Act, and other important historical documents.Ultimately, Norwood takes away the politicians, parties, and policies. Instead, she makes the bold, creative, and compelling case that voting is about self-worth and growth mindset, not the actual election. The same personality traits that are critical for success in business, school, and sports. The conclusion is simple-want to win in life, take yourself, your ideas and opinions seriously enough that you speak up and show up when it matters. Like voting.-----“That these dead shall not have died in vain– that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”-Abraham Lincoln, Gettysburg Address“Tiffany speaks to a truth that is true for all of us- voting is one of the most critical steps in training our inner boss.”-Adaora Udoji, Peabody Award-Winning Journalist“Tiffany makes voting a team sport and reminds us that democracy is fun. Now it is our turn to be a boss and vote.”-Dick Parsons, Time Warner Chairman and CEO (retired)-----In the 1990s, at the age of 27, Tiffany Norwood did something that no other entrepreneur has done since—she raised over $670 million dollars to fund a startup. That money was used to build the first-ever global digital radio platform, launch three satellites into space (including XM Radio) and support the development of MP3/MP4 technologies.Norwood’s career has spanned 57 countries, 37 years, 9 startups, and a patent. In 2022, Tiffany was the first black woman to be named Entrepreneur of the Year. She was also the first in her family to be born with all of her civil rights. An acclaimed storyteller and writer, Norwood has spoken to audiences worldwide at venues like the European Parliament, Cornell University, Global Entrepreneurship Congress, Yale, and the Creative Business Cup. She is the Executive Producer of the highly popular live show Sexy Black Genius, which debuted to a sold-out crowd at the Kennedy Center. This is the second edition of Vote Like a Boss.
