In addition to traditional engagement activities for Veterans, Branch is increasing efforts to reach women, minorities, and faith-based Veterans.

Her doctoral dissertation “Paradoxical Ebullience: Discordance Between Changing Black Racial Attitudes and Stagnation of Black Economic Progress” was revised and published as her first book Optimism At All Costs: Black Attitudes, Activism, and Advancement in Obama’s America (2018) and confronts the tension between black Americans' economic realities and the hope many felt for the future, expressed in survey data alongside the rhetoric of leading black figures.
