Amy DuBois Barnett, former editor in chief of Honey magazine, Ebony, and Teen People, and deputy editor in chief of Harper's Bazaar, launches her debut novel If I Ruled the World at Greenlight! Fast-paced and juicy, If I Ruled the World peeks behind the curtain at the cutthroat world of hip hop music and the glamorous magazine scene in the late 1990s. A smart and utterly immersive journey through one of the most dynamic eras in pop culture history—If I Ruled the World is a story of ambition, friendship, love, and finding your own voice. Angela Yee, host of Way Up with Angela Yee and former co-host of The Breakfast Club, joins DuBois Barnett for a discussion before an audience Q&A and signing.
