Overview
In this candid memoir, Nirenberg reflects on the formative moments that shaped his path to public service. Born to a multicultural family and raised in Texas, he overcame early obstacles and was driven by a sense of purpose from a young age. After completing his education, he worked on public policy initiatives across the country, collaborating with future leaders like Barack Obama and Cory Booker to inspire civic engagement among youth.
As mayor, Nirenberg guided San Antonio through the global Covid-19 pandemic, establishing a model of leadership that others throughout the country emulated. He also led the city out of a devastating winter storm that shut down the entire state and compassionately dealt with the aftermath of public outrage in response to the murder of George Floyd. His vision for growth in San Antonio, a city poised to become a cultural and economic hub in Texas, turned thought into action as he led the way in creating nationally recognized initiatives in workforce development, affordable housing, education, and equity-driven city planning.
At a time of rising polarization and political uncertainty, Nirenberg is both a hopeful call to civic action and a behind-the-scenes account of how to lead with integrity and impact in today’s challenging political landscape.
