“I want to use my story to connect with people of different backgrounds and help them solve the puzzle of their own potential,” Curry said in a statement. “This book is a celebration of the work that happens in the shadows, the creativity that fuels every move, and the mindfulness that keeps me grounded. I hope ‘Shot Ready’ inspires readers to embrace their own journey, trust the process, and always find joy in the pursuit of excellence.”
The mission of Curry’s multimedia company and the mission of One World Publishing seems to be congruently aligned, according to the description of the imprint’s mission on Penguin Random House’s website.
“The mission of ONE WORLD is to provide a home for authors—novelists, essayists, memoirists, poets, journalists, thinkers, activists, and creative artists unconstrained by genre—who challenge the status quo, subvert dominant narratives, and give us new language to understand our past, present, and future. Our writers represent voices from across the spectrum of humanity telling critical, universally important, and compelling stories about a changing world,” the publisher stated.
In addition to Curry, One World counts Tina Knowles, Anelise Chen, Heather McGhee, Keshia N. Blain, Ibrahim X. Kendi, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Donovan X. Ramsey, Nikole Hannah-Jones, and Eve L. Ewing among authors that they have worked in collaboration with.
