WARNING : The opening passage below uses Gen Z and Gen Alpha Slangs
When Australian Senator Fatima Payman’s speech went viral, it totally caught my attention. As a dad to Gen Z and Alpha kids, I’d sometimes overhear them using slang that left me shook. Low-key, it felt like I was missing out on their vibe. That’s when I decided to dive deep and do some homework. I started reading up, watching videos, and researching all these trending phrases and modern culture shifts.

With all that info—and my desire to make sure my kids navigate this culture without getting caught up in its more sus aspects—I started writing. What started as notes soon became a full-on book. And now? It’s published, fam! You can cop it for the low on Amazon and Lulu. I wanted it to be super accessible so that anyone, especially other parents, can get the tea on what their kids are saying and how they’re moving through today’s world. Skibidi!
