What happens when one of the most powerful voices in television decides to say YES to everything for a year? For Shonda Rhimes – the creative force behind “Grey’s Anatomy,” “Scandal,” “Bridgerton” and more – it sparked a transformation that changed her life forever. Now, after saying YES for a decade, Shonda offers an expanded edition of her New York Times bestselling memoir “YEAR OF YES” with never-before-told stories, and brand-new reflections on growth, courage and the magic that happens when you step into the unknown. In this anniversary event, Shonda will take the stage with Valerie Jarret, the Chief Executive Officer and a member of the board of directors of The Obama Foundation, to share new moments that shaped her, the fears she conquered and the unexpected joy of embracing life with an open mind. Come ready to laugh, reflect and maybe even walk away a little braver — and a little more ready to say YES yourself.
