Monday, August 12, 6:00 pm – 7:45 pm – Sharks Don’t Sink

by

Boston Harbor Women of Color are excited to invite you to an exclusive book signing event on Monday, August 12 featuring acclaimed author Jasmin Graham and her latest work, Sharks Don’t Sink: Adventures of a Rogue Scientist! 

Sharks Don’t Sink is a riveting, moving, and ultimately triumphant memoir that delves into the journey of a young Black scientist striving to thrive beyond the traditional boundaries of academia. Fueled by her profound connection to one of nature’s most misunderstood creatures—the shark—this memoir sits at the intersection of science and social justice. It serves as a guidebook for learning to respect and protect some of nature’s most misunderstood and vulnerable creatures while also extending that same grace to ourselves.

Join us for an exclusive BHWOCC reception, featuring hors d’oeuvre and an open bar, beginning at 6 pm at the New England Aquarium. The event then opens to the public at 6:30 with a cash bar, and Jasmin will begin her talk at 7. RSVP HERE.
