Sobre IBD

Miami Uncovered: Secrets, Survival & Shadowed Streets is a nine-chapter book exploring the struggles faced by Black and Latin men in Miami, Florida, shaped by foster care, homelessness, crime, and sexuality. Through their personal stories, the book reveals the lasting effects of family separation, addiction, poverty, and marginalization. The author held casual conversations with 14 men who experienced foster care, incarceration, recovery centers, or life on the streets. They share what it feels like to be excluded, homeless, and search for identity and belonging. Many have turned to sex for survival, confronting racism, unmet needs, and inadequate support. The book also explores prevalent drug use and partner violence in marginalized communities, especially among those with complex sexual identities. Despite experiencing foster care, incarceration, and loneliness, these men demonstrate resilience, courage, and honesty. Their anonymous stories highlight the urgent need for change, compassion, and improved support in Miami and beyond. The book concludes with a summary, reflection, practical ideas, and a list of sources.
