LOS ANGELES - s4story -- With the release of author JJ Scheinwynn's groundbreaking memoir "No, Mom and Dad, I Won't Let You Kill Me!" and his searingly honest Authority Magazine interview, Scheinwynn has ignited a firestorm of dialogue about identity, survival, and the insidious systems that attempt to erase marginalized voices.

Authority Magazine, a Medium publication, is devoted to sharing in-depth, and interesting interviews, featuring people who are authorities. Authority Magazine recently featured Scheinwynn in their "Social Impact Authors" series, highlighting how and why his work is helping to change the world.

In the article, "Social Impact Authors: How & Why Author JJ Scheinwynn Is Helping To Change Our World," Scheinwynn takes readers beyond the pages of his book and into the spaces where the consequences of neglect, rejection, and forced erasure become a matter of life or death. The response has been immediate, intense, and deeply personal, because Scheinwynn's story is one many recognize in their own lives but have never had the words to express.

"The most dangerous thing we do to people is pretend they don't exist," Scheinwynn said. "This book – and this feature in Authority Magazine – exist because I refused to be erased. I'm grateful for platforms like this that help amplify voices that might otherwise go unheard, because too many are still fighting to be seen, heard, and acknowledged."

The Interview That's Breaking Open the Conversation

In his Authority Magazine interview, Scheinwynn revisits key themes from his memoir, exposing the harsh reality of growing up in a white, evangelical world that saw his Blackness as a liability and his sexuality as a sickness. With unflinching honesty, he lays bare the life-or-death stakes of living authentically and the broader system of silence, shame, and erasure his story represents.

In a time of political unrest, widening inequality, and the weaponization of identity, "No, Mom and Dad, I Won't Let You Kill Me!" is the book of the moment.

Availability

"No, Mom and Dad, I Won't Let You Kill Me!" is available now in paperback on Amazon and as an eBook on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Apple Books.
