Going to do a book talk @ABSociologists but I have never done one 😬 any advice on what to expect?

The moment I got to hold my first edited book! I’m so excited to share this with everyone! The authors and my co-editors are amazing and the experience was life changing. Thank you to everyone for your support.

I am compiling a list for my intro to sociology class on books they can read for a book report. What new books have come out (within the past 5 years) that I should add to it? What have y’all written 👀

1 in 10 people in state prison today was homeless before turning 18.

1 in 5 was in public housing before 18.

1 in 5 was in foster care.

The U.S continues to allow kids to grow up in poverty - and then end up in prison.

The purpose of this study is to explore and understand the lived experiences and well-being of Black queer and trans college students, in addition to the ways they make sense of and manifest joy.
