In this episode, LT and Sam are joined by two students from the fall Smart Girl roadshow: Liz Hardy (UCSF) and Maliah Siyoum (SMC). Together, they unpack what happens when Smart Girl moves from the page into real college and grad school spaces.

Liz and Maliah share what the book unlocked for them, including recognition, discomfort, joy, ambition, and that unmistakable moment when a class shifts from “discussion” to real talk. They also reveal how the memoir resonates far beyond first-gen students, opening up conversations about why we go to college, what keeps us there, and how stories shape both individual and institutional change.
