T person, yo i think i can help and one week later i was set up as the associate publisher of the magazine as a volunteer but it was pretty much a fulltime job. But we grew and worked on the infrastructure to make it more popular and robust and that is how the job came to be. Happenstance. Of first nonwhite and anon mail to be executive director. I am. Point . The way the job was hired of the search conducted through different cultural institutions in publishing to see who was fit for the job by did not approach them vice but to somebody and was getting ideas for people i did not think me but somebody said what about you . What about me . I was a bit younger i did not think that would be in my future at that time. My futue i ended up talking to them and i was so intimidated at first by the process i just went in there as myself this is why i believe and what i can do i dont know of i thought about being a black woman while i was doing that or how do i articulate to these very successful Board Members of ollies different fields like nonprofit or publishing how do i approve and i am confident . And that i can bring Something Interesting to the foundation . That is what i was focused on in the end howard you take people who are excited about long form journal politics in the same question lies before the foundation hired to make people feel excited about literature or feel glamorous or exciting without changing what it is . And think that i made the case to do that and to be up person of color and gives a special way to think about the audience and how you access because people do look like me are feeling that theyre not the audience globally or books or television or anything with theater or dance me feel like were not the audience and that is changing demonstrated by me being there but that is a conversation i could have vaughan purely professional terms. Also because you feel included you can think what about people in the rural areas or from different socioeconomic backgrounds . Have to widen that message to include everybody . Two is on the board . It is a big and growing bored. Representatives from cultural, nonprofit, lots of publishing, but we are widening so there are those coming on that we are moving outside he was formerly with perseus books. Is a tough to answer to avi big board . No. Theyre so collaborative and invested in the success of the national Book Foundation is funny because they couldk be viewed is interested parties but they are capable to step back from their day to day rule to say how the negro or make this a bigger . E t lot of people say is that challenging . That is a powerful board they are collaborative and smart and interesting and i feel tremendously they are confident i can do my job so i feel supported by them absolutely 100 percent this board makes me stronger. Some people feel it is a hindrance or they are scared but not all they have been wonderful. When does the process of the National Book award began by. Submission is close to t16 on monday. H. We are in it. The judges were announced. Right after i started it was a world with a show about my desk and innocently are announcing a cable opening submissions so very much a world and. We have the judges and now we go. To then they give me a phone call at the end of the summer for the long list which is weird. Who was in our family all the sudden you get the phonene call of khalil will liveu with forever. We will be live at the National Book awards in november from yorks city thanks for introducing yourself to the book tv audience. I got involved in the naming rates from Mile High Stadium with a compromise with several different people that were all politically astute said it is nonpartisan you should run for mayor so i thought about it went around the country for about 18 months. There is a fellow named chris gates ran the National Civic league at that time to engineer so i can meet the budget of mayors can you make a difference . Would i be good . What i like it . Kind of putting your toe in the water but even then you think why would anybody do that . Cited a hangout with officials or the Student Council or the class president they did not hang out with me. You were a geek with coke bottle glasses quick. With acne and scrawny we dont have to go over too much. [laughter] but. And you could not get the girls. Thank you. [laughter] that to pinpoint on the decision is there was a point i was toying with the idea of all of these traditional political types almost like the madefortv movie the embittered city councilwoman the city auditor the state senator who was a brilliant speaker but they all did it seem to have any experience with business or Small Business in my customers could sing every elected official was the bomb they only care about their own circle. So with seemed there should be more people from business to go into government. Several people from the early meetings when said natalie will we not do any negative ads we will not do Opposition Research people got up and left the room and said he inhabits a chance. We didnt expect to win but there was an appetite for somebody that wasnt just like everybody else to do the attack ads.
