The eldest daughter of Haitian immigrants who worked multiple jobs and 15-hour days in New York City just to make ends meet, Karine Jean-Pierre was expected to become a doctor.
After she failed to get the science grades she needed, she had to shoulder the disappointment of her family and even attempted suicide. So she rethought her life, got involved in politics and eventually ended up working in the White House for the first black US President Barack Obama.
On her journey there, she exploded stereotypes, came out as gay, and spoke up for people whose voice wasn't being heard.
She's now a national spokesperson for the online political pressure group MoveOn.org. Her autobiography 'Moving Forward' is released on 5 November.
