Pulitzer Prize winning writer, editor and TV host Jonathan Capehart recounts powerful stories from his life about embracing identity, picking battles, seizing opportunity and finding his voice.

MSNBC anchor Jonathan Capehart is one of the most recognizable faces in cable news. But long before that success, Capehart spent his boyhood growing up without his father, shuttling back and forth between New Jersey and rural Severn, North Carolina, and contemplating the complexities of race and identity as they shifted around him. It was never easy bridging two worlds; whether being told he was too smart or not smart enough, too Black or not Black enough, Capehart struggled to find his place. Then, an internship at The Today Show altered the course of his life, bringing him one step closer to his dream. From there, Capehart embarks on a journey of self-discovery.

Yet Here I Am takes us along that journey, from his years at Carleton College, where he learns to embrace his identity as a gay Black man surrounded by a likeminded community; to his decision to come out to his family, risking rejection; and finally to his move to New York City, where time and again he stumbles and picks himself up as he blazes a path to become the familiar face in news we know today.

Honest and endearing, Yet Here I Am is an inspirational memoir of identity, opportunity, and finding one's voice and purpose along the way.

    Jonathan Capehart tells his story in such a way that it is both very personal — about intimate details and important moments of his own life — and also a story about America. Well, written and inspiring.

    An outstanding well written journey from a Pulitizer award winning journalist. The author takes the reader on his personal journey through his childhood on to becoming an television host to associate editor for one of the country's largest newspapers. What a great book! Thank you, Mr. Capehart!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Insightful, reflective memoir
    Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2025

    This is an insightful, reflective story about a journalist's experiences navigating the world as a black, gay man. It's an honest, sometimes raw, account of what he has learned as well as some honest advice for his readers. One of my favorite pieces of his advice is, "Everything we do is an audition for something else in life; we just don't know what for yet."
