SHARKS DON'T SINK by Jasmin Graham
Marine biologist and debut author Jasmin Graham was featured in the New York Times, The Washington Post, and the Free Times discussing her memoir SHARKS DON'T SINK, as well as the particular challenges and triumphs of being a Black woman in shark science. Meanwhile, The Tampa Bay Times raves: "Graham has become something of a shark celebrity, talking about her work on Shark Week documentaries and YouTube. But in this uplifting memoir, the sharks and the scientists who overcome bigotry to learn about them are the stars." SHARKS DON’T SINK was one of The Root's "July 2024 Books By Black Authors We Can't Wait to Read," and an excerpt was published on Lit Hub. Graham appeared on both the Today Show and CBS Mornings to promote the book at the time of its release—one stop on her 13-city tour— and she was interviewed on NPR’s On Point and Science Friday radio shows, as well as WHYY’s The Pulse, and on the Stuff to Blow Your Mind, Just the Zoo of Us, and All Creatures podcasts. Pantheon published SHARKS DON'T SINK on July 16, 2024.
