Caption: “In this heartfelt memoir . . . Ardern candidly describes her struggles, missteps, and triumphs to inspire other young women that they, too, can succeed, even when they doubt themselves. Young women will be inspired.” —Booklist When Jacinda Ardern became prime minister of New Zealand, she was one of the youngest people and, at the time, the youngest woman leading a country. Many people thought she would never succeed—herself included. Wouldn’t her insecurity, overthinking, worrying, and kindness stop her from being able to achieve her goals? As she soon learned, though, it was exactly those attributes—as well as caring and wanting to listen to and serve others—that made her into the empathetic, adaptable, and effective leader that she was. While sharing her own experiences and challenges as a young person, and then as prime minister, Jacinda Ardern asks readers to realize that true strength, success, and power come from embracing ourselves just as we are—imposter syndrome and all.

Caption: Today is the day my book, What if You Could, hits shelves in New Zealand, Australia and the United States (and on Thursday you’ll find it in the UK, too!) They call it a youth reader- an adaptation of an adult book for younger people - not a concept I was that familiar with, but I love. So much of my memoir was about reminding my 14 year old self of what’s possible, and this book, with its extra content for young people, is now specifically for that age group. With endless thanks to all that made this book a reality! xx

Caption: Tonight the incredible team who made the documentary simply titled “Prime Minister” won the Emmy for best documentary. From the sidelines I saw these talented directors, editors, and producers all come together to create a film (which I have still only watched it in its entirety once..) that feels like the most accurate portrayal of what it’s like to lead with your heart on your sleeve. My huge congratulations to them all, especially Michelle Walshe and Lindsay Utz who co-directed it. But here, I want to make a special mention of Clarke, the first person who picked up a camera. I wasn’t the easiest person to film, and nor through the years of being PM was I the easiest partner. But that never changed the amount of support he gave in return. Our loved ones don’t choose politics, but they are still on the front line alongside us every day, cheering us on, keeping life at home going, reminding us why we’re there. So thank you, Clarke. Now it’s my turn to cheer you on xx Clarke spoke at the awards tonight, and he saved his final words, rightly so, to thank New Zealand. Our home. We will both forever be grateful for the privilege of a lifetime.

Caption: The Ockham book awards were held in Auckland last night. I’m not sure how many of the Ockham ceremonies I’ve been lucky enough to attend - enough to know how special they are, and to feel deeply sorry that I missed this one. My wonderful sister Louise stepped in for me, and it was so special to see her take the stage and accept an award on my behalf (the EH McCormick Prize for best General Non-Fiction book by a first time author.) I’ve long been in awe of our New Zealand writers, (and warmest congratulations to all the Ockham finalists and winners) I have an even greater appreciation for them having gone through the learning curve of publishing a book. I also feel a deep gratitude for readers. So to everyone who took a leap of faith and bought this politicians memoir, I hope my story felt as much a New Zealand one as it was my own. And if its existence in the world means just one reader goes on to pick up the baton of leadership, or of politics, then it will have all been worth it. (Photo credit: my dad!)

Caption: Where has this year gone?! Hard to believe that in just two short months, “What If You Could” will be coming out. When I wrote my memoir I told a friend that, in part, it was aimed at my fourteen-year-old self. I never quite imagined having the opportunity to work with @rubyreadwrite and a group of amazing publishers to have it adapted into a book aimed specifically at young people. But here it is, and I couldn’t be more excited. It will be released in the first week of June in the US (with the red, white and blue cover), the UK (with the orange cover), and of course New Zealand and Australia (the yellow and black cover!) If I can convince just one young person in this chaotic and difficult world that they can make a difference (just as they are), then this book will have been worth creating.

Caption: “The global humanitarian crisis is just that, a crisis of humanity,” write @jacindaardern and IRC’s David Miliband in @time. “But there is no question that a terrible burden sits squarely on women, and addressing the epidemic of preventable maternal and newborn deaths during childbirth in conflict zones is long overdue.” Motherhood should never be a death sentence.
