Produktbeschreibung

The Enlisted: The Price of Service No One Tells You. In her debut book, Pearson sheds light on the tough realities she faced as a black, enlisted woman serving in the U.S. Navy, and draws attention to what other young women are sure to encounter.

Pearson's book is drawn from a journal she kept during her five years of service in the U.S. Navy and from interviews with women and men who crossed her path during her tours in both Virginia, California, and on the open seas.

"I want to start the controversial conversations that will lead to change," said Pearson, who is currently a University of Alabama student. "I'm focused and determined to help at least one person see the full picture before making a multi-year commitment where the only thing that is truly certain is uncertainty itself."

Autorenporträt

Skyla Pearson is a recipient of the United States Navy Good Conduct Medal as well as the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal (NAM). After joining the Navy in 2017 as an Undesignated Seaman, she arrived at her first duty station in Norfolk, Virginia shortly thereafter. Over the next four years, Skyla would work very hard to climb the ranking ladder and acquire her rank as Logistics Specialist Second Class Petty Officer (Surface Warfare/Air Warfare). During this time, she also successfully completed two deployments in and around Middle Eastern seas and territories, accumulating just over two years of time at sea. After an appreciated journey, Skyla decided to end her Naval career in Lemoore, California, her final duty station, and was Honorably discharged in August of 2021.Now a Veteran, Skyla currently resides in the city of Tuscaloosa as she attends the University of Alabama. She is using her GI Bill to Major in English with a focus on Creative Writing and plans to continue her pursuit of literary work as she prepares to write her second book. Although her time in the Navy mostly provided her with anything she needed, Skyla Pearson wanted nothing more than to have the opportunity to make up for time with her family which was lost as she served her country. Mentally, she is in a great place and plans to stay there.
