Student Parent: The Cost of Poverty, the Fight for Families, and the Power of College
A vital call to disrupt systemic forces that impoverish families and to reimagine accessible higher education, empowering parents to thrive in college and at home.
Student Parent is about policy, a powerful testament to resilience, and an advocate’s guide for dismantling inequality. Nicole Lynn Lewis has an inspiring vision of an America where education is a right and generational wealth is accessible to all. This book shows us that investing in our student parents is a critical step on the path toward that bright future.
This book is a call to arms for anyone who believes higher education is not a luxury, but a fundamental right. It's for those who feel the pull to champion families pushed to the margins, to stand with them in their fight for a brighter future. It is an excavation of the past, a journey into the heart of how we arrived at this moment—how mothers and fathers in poverty became stranded so far from the shores of opportunity and economic mobility. And most importantly, it's a blueprint for the future, a roadmap for the work we must do to build a path toward lasting change.
