🌈📖 Introducing American Teenager by Nico Lang

We are thrilled to highlight this powerful upcoming book, American Teenager, releasing on October 8! 🧡 Written by award-winning LGBTQ+ journalist Nico Lang, it chronicles the lived experiences of seven trans youth and their families across seven different states.

In today’s world, stories like these are more crucial than ever, offering a message of hope, resilience, and optimism for the future. Let’s help spark these vital conversations in our communities—because understanding and allyship can truly make a difference.
