"The T Is Not Silent" ($5)

Andrea Jenkins, the United States's first-ever African American and openly transgender woman to be elected into office, brings light to the trans community in her book "The T Is Not Silent." In an exceptional effort to provide a deeper understanding of what she describes as "a community that is invisible to most," Jenkins explores the vicious struggles of living as a trans person. Discussing topics such as violence, unemployment, housing, and discrimination, Jenkins highlights the change needed and the resilience of the community.
