“MORE TO TELL”

More To Tell is a story within a story.

Crystal’s bestselling memoir unveils the intimate details when the cameras stopped rolling—the moments after George Floyd’s death, the men responsible, and the turbulent experience of an Asian female television news reporter in a traditionally white, male-dominated industry. The memoir exposes the grave shortcomings of the news industry during what was one of the largest social justice movements of our time.
