The Black Career Guide Podcast: Recent Episodes
The Black Career Guide
The Black Career Guide is a collection of stories, interviews, ideas and all things black careers. We’ve gone beyond the traditional doctor, lawyer and engineer that we were told by our parents were the only options for a career. There is such a vast array of careers within the community and I wanted to provide a platform to explore those. In the interviews I’ve done so far, I’ve seen the array of careers and I wanted to be able to showcase those. This platform is a platform for us to learn, grow, share and explore.
