Sonia Sotomayor BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Sonia Sotomayor has been everywhere in the news and on public stages as she launches what insiders describe as her most high-profile book tour yet. Mark your calendar for September 9—the official release date for her new children’s book, Just Shine How to Be a Better You, which has become a headline event among literary and legal circles. Local News Matters and multiple San Francisco buzz sheets are reporting that Justice Sotomayor will be in person at Calvary Presbyterian Church on September 11 to introduce Just Shine to Bay Area families, answering pre-submitted questions from attendees, in an event geared toward inclusivity and community engagement. Social media has been humming with anticipation, with parents, teachers, and even some local celebs congratulating her and sharing memories of her previous bestsellers.

Her book tour does not stop there. September 10, she’s scheduled for a major fireside chat at Washington University in St. Louis with Chancellor Andrew Martin, and the campus event is already being picked up on Facebook and LinkedIn event listings, promising an engaged crowd. In DC on September 18, Justice Sotomayor will join NPR’s Nina Totenberg and Judge David Tatel for a high-profile talk at GWU’s Betts Theater, where, according to Politics & Prose, she’ll share the deeply personal roots of Just Shine and connect themes in her book with the values imparted by her mother. Multiple east coast dates will follow, including signings in Philadelphia, Baltimore, Miami, Chicago, and a family event at the New York Public Library, which is already fully booked according to the NYPL itself—a testament to ongoing public fascination.

Meanwhile, her judicial voice remains fierce. Courthouse News reported that within the past week, Justice Sotomayor publicly dissented from the Supreme Court’s refusal to hear the appeal of a Louisiana inmate in an HIV-related prison case, calling out her colleagues for missing an opportunity to scrutinize a troubling pattern in prison administration. Salon, in a major feature on the Court’s ideological tilt, highlighted Sotomayor as one of the only current justices regularly speaking out against what she identifies as the broader consequences of the Court’s increasingly conservative trajectory.

No speculation here—her schedule is packed and her profile is rising as she leverages her platform to spotlight issues of compassion, community, and justice. With a new book already drawing headlines, a cross-country tour with tickets selling out fast, and her clear and public judicial stances, Sonia Sotomayor is making sure her voice rings out well beyond the marble halls of the Supreme Court.
