Luvvie Ajayi Jones on Why Everyone Should Be a Professional Troublemaker

Credit: Luvvi Ajayi Jones

“Professional troublemakers are people who are committed to elevating the rooms that they’re in and disrupting for the greater good.”

Luvvie Ajayi Jones is a writer, speaker and author of two New York Times best-selling books, I’m Judging You: The Do-Better Manual and her latest, Professional Troublemaker: The Fear-Fighter Manual. Luvvie’s books are part memoir, part manifestos that, like Luvvie herself, try to help the rest of us do better — for ourselves and for the people around us. On this episode of Next Question with Katie Couric, Katie gives herself over to Luvvie’s wisdom and learns how to overcome confidence barriers, use fear for good, shed that pleaser instinct, embrace the brag, and loan courage whenever possible.
