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.

Time to finish this dissertation!! Please share with your friends & networks! 🙂 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.

Just because you needed a PhD to conduct your research doesn’t mean people should need a PhD to read or understand it. Our work should be about access not accolades.
