In the debut episode of the Smart Girl podcast, hosts La'Tonya “LT” Rease Miles—pioneering founder of first-gen college studies and tireless changemaker—and her best friend Sam Pinto, professor at UT Austin, go behind the scenes of LT’s memoir Smart Girl. With signature humor, humility, and nerdiness, they unpack why LT wrote the book, what it means to be labeled “the smart girl,” and how that identity shaped her path through Black and predominantly white educational spaces. From her family’s early affirmations to her hard-earned lessons about hidden curricula and libraries as safe havens, LT shares how research, resilience, and community have fueled her journey—and how Smart Girl is both an origin story and an invitation for listeners to dive deep into the power of telling first-gen, working class, feminist stories out loud.
Here's the link to the original playlist and to the all pop culture version.
