On September 21, we held our latest BAM Book Jam featuring the memoir "Sissy: A Coming-of-Gender Story," written by Jacob Tobia. Sissy guarantees you'll never think about gender--both other people's and your own--the same way again. Our CEO, Beck Bamberger, and Jacob talked about how to make the world safe for gender non-conforming people, gender plurality, and how Gen-Z is going to save us. Jacob answered questions about their memoir for 60 minutes straight. Be sure to watch the recording below. Thank you to everyone for your questions and participation!
Here are some of the top BAM Book Jam tweets and words of advice from Jacob Tobia. If you want the full scoop, check out the recording of the webinar above.
