Baldwin has been pursuing another passion behind the scenes: on April 6 she will be releasing her book, Huddle: How Women Unlock Their Collective Power, about the power women can possess when they join forces. “Over the last five years in the background of all the breaking news, I’ve noticed a growing phenomenon of women in politics, activist circles, sports, Hollywood and many other walks of life coming together to incite meaningful change in their fields,” she says. “I chose the word ‘huddle’ to describe these groups of women because it’s essentially a masculine word: we automatically think of men strategizing and motivating each other on a football field. I wanted to flip the word on its head, and for women to feminize and own the word.”

Over the course of doing American Woman and writing the book Baldwin says she realized that she can’t be in the same space as these amazing women and not be the best possible version of herself. “But I’ll be the first to admit that I have no idea what this next version of me will look like,” she laughs. “Whatever I do, I know it’s going to involve diving into the deep end of storytelling, and having more time and space with extraordinary Americans.” She says that could involve writing another book or creating content on a network. “It might even mean doing a talk show,” she tells me. Sounds like CNN might have some new competition.
