At the insistence of her mother, and through her academic accomplishments, Price escaped the unbroken cycles of poverty, violence, addiction, mental illness, and abuse that had plagued her family for generations. She started a new life in Massachusetts, in pursuit of her master’s and Ph.D. But despite having left this dark world behind, it still kept a firm grip on her.

She is also an advisor for the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, and an alumni scholar at the Brandeis University Women’s Studies Research Center.

She earned her Ph.D. in sociology at the University of Massachusetts Boston.
