pickResilient, defiant, joyful, gentle. The tone of this work really surprised me. As much as Graham is clear about her and others' negative experiences of racism and misogyny in academia and scientific field research, it's clear that in pursuing her own path she has provided a place of hope and curiousity undaunted by biased, apathetic and oppressive forces, not just for herself but for other Black people and other minority groups, 1/?
Okay, but I LIKE it. Look at that chill little fishie!
Relatable.
Thank you @Pogue for the book and chocolate for #JolabokaflodSwap24! It‘s perfect; it sounds so intriguing! And I cannot wait to try the chocolate! And thank you @MaleficentBookDragon for hosting again!

This book is an amazing true story about a woman who studied sharks and decided to dive into the Ocean to closer study the behavior of Sharks. This book inspires children and young adults that they can be whoever they want to be.
There are hints of How Far the Light Reaches (parallel in relating personal and broader moments of minority struggles with those of sea life) and Owls of the Eastern Ice (focus on how study could change policy for the better for protection of species). 5d
