We are proud to welcome author, Nico Lang, of American Teenager: How Trans Kids are Surviving Hate and Finding Joy in a Turbulent Era as part of our ʻUmeke Kāʻeo Author Series!
In American Teenager, Lang, “shares the very raw, very real experiences of trans youth and their families at a moment in time when so much and so many things are conspiring against them. In doing so, Lang reminds us of our shared humanity—and most especially, our capacity to find joy even in the hardest of times.”
Do not miss this incredible event with Nico Lang, whose book the Washington Post reviewed as, “a necessary work of patient, dogged reportage” (Plett, 2024).
