Colin Kaepernick to tell his side of the story
Colin Kaepernick announced that he is starting his own publishing company, and his first project…his own book. The book is described as “part political awakening and part memoir,” and will detail his journey. He says, “My protest was the culmination of years of thought and experiences, of learning and unlearning,” Kaepernick said in a press release Thursday. “I want to tell the story of my evolution, and the events that led me to protest systemic oppression, in hopes that it will inspire others to rise in action. I am excited that through this groundbreaking partnership between Kaepernick Publishing and Audible, we can elevate Black and Brown voices who can empower future generations.”
In addition to his memoir, he signed “a multi-project deal with Audible to develop original audio projects aimed at giving a platform to other authors, creators, and influential figures.” (Complex)
The audio version of Cap’s memoir will be released exclusively through Audible.
