Description: Microsoft's associate general counsel shares this story that is as nuanced as it is hopeful (Hakeem Jeffries House Minority Leader) about his rise from childhood poverty in pre - gentrified New York City to a stellar career at the top of the technology and music industries in this stirring true story of grit and perseverance. For fans of Indra Nooyi's My Life in Full and Viola Davis's Finding Me. As an accomplished Microsoft executive Bruce Jackson handles billions of dollars of commerce as its associate general counsel while he plays a crucial role in the company's corporate diversity efforts. But few of his colleagues can understand the weight he carries with him to the office each day. He kept his past hidden from sight as he ascended the corporate ladder but shares it in full for the first time here. Born in Crown Heights Brooklyn Jackson moved to Manhattan's Amsterdam housing projects as a child where he had already been falsely accused and arrested for robbery by the age of ten. At the age of fifteen he witnessed the homicide of his close friend. Taken in by the criminal justice system seduced by a burgeoning drug trade and burdened by a fractured impoverished home life Jackson stood on the edge of failure. But he was saved by an offer. That offer set him on a better path off the streets and eventually on the way to Georgetown Law but not without hard knocks along the way. But even as he racked up professional accomplishments Jackson is still haunted by the unchanged world outside his office. From public housing to working for Microsoft's president Brad Smith and its founder Bill Gates to advising some of the biggest stars in music Bruce Jackson's Never Far from Home reveals the ups and downs of an incredible journey how he overcame many obstacles and the valuable lessons learned along the way.
