Sharks have been on this planet for over 400 million years, so there is a lot they can teach us about survival and adaptability. For example: how do sharks stay afloat? They keep moving. When Jasmin Graham, an award-winning young shark scientist, started to feel that the traditional path to becoming a marine biologist was pulling her under, she remembered this important lesson: keep moving forward. Jasmin joined with three other Black women to form Minorities in Shark Sciences (MISS) and became an independent researcher: a rogue shark scientist, seeking ways to keep these extraordinary endangered creatures swimming free—just like her. “Sharks Don’t Sink” is a triumphant memoir about how we can all learn to respect nature’s most misunderstood and vulnerable creatures—and grant the same grace to ourselves.
