Katie returns to the country’s capital for a much-needed night of inspiration.
It was a full-circle moment: For the third stop on her Going There tour, Katie headed back to D.C., where she grew up! But there was no time to stop by the house where she lived as a kid, or the high school she attended back then — she had a show to put on, and boy, did she deliver. On stage, Katie was joined by brilliant journalists Nikole Hannah-Jones and Kara Swisher, for a dazzling convo about the memoir and so much more.
