In this episode, we welcome back Dr. La'Tonya “LT” Rease Miles to discuss her new memoir, Smart Girl: A First-Gen Origin Story. We cover all kinds of topics from impactful moments in LT’s youth, to  influential women in her family, and even the importance of integrating personal passions into academic life. She also shares how her story challenges traditional first-gen narratives and how intentional she was with her word choice, allusions, and multimodal ways to experience the book. Tune in for an inspiring conversation about redefining what it means to be first-gen and the power of storytelling.
