An Evening with Jocelyn Benson | Featured Book "The Purposeful Warrior"

The National Writers Series is honored to welcome Jocelyn Benson, Michigan’s Secretary of State and one of the nation’s most courageous defenders of democracy, to discuss her powerful and inspiring new book, The Purposeful Warrior.

In The Purposeful Warrior, Benson shares the lessons she’s learned throughout her extraordinary career—from investigating domestic terrorist networks to becoming the youngest woman to lead a top 100 law school, to running the Boston Marathon while more than eight months pregnant. With clarity and conviction, she demonstrates how all of us can stand up to injustice, find strength in our values, and become warriors for ourselves and for one another.

Drawing from her own story as well as those of other bold changemakers, Benson shows that even in moments of fear, frustration, or despair, we have the power to act with integrity, grit, and grace. Whether we’re confronting bullies, challenging the status quo, or defending the vulnerable, she reminds us that purposeful warriors don’t just resist what’s wrong—they fight for what’s right.

Join us for an unforgettable evening with a national leader and changemaker whose story will leave you inspired to lead with purpose, speak up with courage, and fight for a better future.
