An Evening With Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi

On Monday, October 21, the Adrienne Arsht Center will host An Evening with Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi, presented in partnership with the Books & Books Literary Foundation and Miami Book Fair. This special event offers an opportunity to hear Pelosi discuss her new book, The Art of Power, which chronicles her remarkable journey from housewife to becoming the first female Speaker of the House of Representatives. As one of the most influential figures in American political history, Pelosi reflects on her pivotal role in shaping key legislation, navigating complex relationships with presidents from Bush to Biden, and leading the resistance against the Trump administration.

In The Art of Power, Pelosi shares insights into the challenges of passing landmark laws, such as the 2008 economic rescue and health care reforms, while revealing her personal experiences, including the January 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol and the violent intrusion into her home nearly two years later. Known for her perseverance and moral courage, Pelosi’s book offers a firsthand account of the determination and leadership that defined her career.

Attendees will receive a copy of The Art of Power with every full-price ticket, with an option to purchase a second ticket at a discounted rate without an additional book. This event is presented in collaboration with the Miami Freedom Project.
