NEW YORK — Venture capitalist Amy Griffin has received a notable honor for her recent literary work. Her deeply personal memoir, “The Tell,” has been chosen by Oprah Winfrey as the latest selection for her renowned book club.
“The Tell,” which hit bookshelves on Tuesday, delves into Griffin’s poignant journey of confronting and overcoming childhood trauma. Described as a narrative of resilience and honesty, the memoir reflects Griffin’s commitment to healing and transparency.
Reflecting on the process of writing her memoir, Griffin expressed, “I’ve devoted the last five years to carefully crafting and considering each word I wanted to use to share my experiences.” She added, “When Oprah reached out, I found myself momentarily speechless.”
Griffin, who opened G9 Ventures in 2017, has made strategic investments in several high-profile companies, including Goop, Bumble, and Hello Sunshine, demonstrating her keen eye for successful ventures.
Since its inception in 1996, Oprah Winfrey’s Book Club has grown into an influential platform for authors and readers alike. Currently, it operates in collaboration with Starbucks.
The interaction between Winfrey and Griffin was hosted at a Starbucks location in Chicago. An enlightening conversation ensued, which is now available for viewing on Winfrey’s YouTube channel as a video podcast.
