Book Group: "I'm Highly Percent Sure" by Caroline Wanga

Join us for an engaging six-week exploration of Caroline Wanga's powerful memoir about identity, belonging, and the courage to live authentically. In "I'm Highly Percent Sure," Wanga shares her journey as a Kenyan-born, American-raised woman navigating corporate America while staying true to her multifaceted identity. Over six sessions, we'll delve into Wanga's candid storytelling as she addresses themes of cultural code-switching, imposter syndrome, workplace dynamics, and the challenge of being "enough" in spaces that weren't designed for people like her. Her blend of humor, vulnerability, and sharp insight offers both personal revelation and broader commentary on race, gender, and belonging in contemporary America. 

Each week, participants will engage in thoughtful discussion about Wanga's experiences and their resonance with our own lives. We'll explore her strategies for building confidence, her approach to leadership, and her philosophy of being "highly percent sure" even when certainty feels elusive. The book's accessible tone and relatable anecdotes make it perfect for group discussion, whether you're examining workplace culture, identity formation, or personal growth. This course welcomes readers from all backgrounds who are interested in stories of resilience, authenticity, and finding your voice. No prior experience with memoir or book groups required—just bring an open mind and willingness to engage in meaningful conversation about the complexities of modern identity and success.
