About this listen
In this rousing call to leadership, the self-described millennial spokesperson for the culture, CNN’s designated "woke AF" former commentator, and the youngest national press secretary in the history of the United States shares her take-no-prisoners approach to life, politics, and career success, and shows a new generation how to be loud and powerful in their own right.
Many people - most notably white older men - may try to stop Symone Sanders from speaking up and out. But Symone will not shut up. And neither should you. In this inspiring call to action, Symone tells stories from her own life of not-shutting-up alongside loud young revolutionaries who came before her to help you find your authentic voice and use it to your advantage; to fight ideological battles more effectively; and to resist those who try to silence you.
We are all gurus, masterminds, artists, entrepreneurs - we are the change agents we have been waiting for. It is us. And the time is right now. I know you’re wondering, “But how?” And we don’t have all the answers! Symone is the first to admit we’re all winging it in one way or another. But the point is we’re out there doing it. So get started. Open your mouth and start talking. Loudly. No You Shut Up goes beyond the surplus of “Vote-or-Die” books we’ve seen before. Because change doesn’t just happen at the ballot box. We need people fighting oppression, injustice, and inequality - in the workplace, on the cultural battlefield, in government, in every corner of the world.
With spirited storytelling filtered through a voice that cannot and will not be ignored, Symone inspires you to start now. You don’t need to have all the answers, or wait your turn to help create the change you want to see. All you need is a new toolbox, an unshakable commitment, and the confidence and guidance to wield those tools effectively.

Piece of Advice — Recommend this audiobook!
I enjoyed listening to Ms. Sanders discuss her professional journey. Here, she shares her passion for politics and for youth advocacy, her impressive range of knowledge on a variety of topics important to so many Americans, and her unflinching belief in herself as a change agent. Many young women, especially young women of color, would benefit from Sanders’ self reflection and pieces of advice. Even more, Sanders is out here doing the work while remaining true to herself.
I look forward to more great things from Ms. Symone Sanders!!!

painfully honest and inspiring
If we could only all learn to be honest with ourselves and committed to the passions that we claim to have then we would truly have a different outcome. I actually went through this book faster than I thought it's a winner

A primer for every young person seeking to influence or gain power
It took me 54 years of activism to understand the well exemplified lessons that Symone D Sanders – Townsend seeks to impart to her readers. With a catchy title that will resonate with her core audience, millennials, this book should and will appeal to a much broader audience. Do not be fooled, it is the basics of learning to exist near power, achieve your own power, and manage the ups and downs that come with powerful positions.
As a baby boomer who lived through the era of women achieving power in business, I readily recognize all of these lessons and was grateful for the youthful voice, reminding me of many of my own experiences.
I applaud Ms. Sanders – Townsend and commend her for sharing her experiences in a voice that is both compelling and inspiring.
It is an engaging read that I would encourage anyone to enjoy, and either reminisce on, or learn the lessons she shares from her life and fount of knowledge

just another politician?
Simone Sanders gives you an authentic perspective of a Black progressives woman building a career in politics and all the nuances and challenges that come with it. Sanders is open and truthful. Sanders career makes me think that their political axis has shifted and adapted with opportunities. For people with careers in politics, What comes first: the ideals or the job opportunities?

Insightful and inspiring!
Truly appreciate Symone‘s vulnerability in her book. It was very refreshing to read how she has been able to navigate the political landscape in DC without losing herself or what she stands for! Love her candor and thoughtful reflections.
