Success means a lot of things and at a predominantly white institution (PWI), one may feel obligated to succeed in even more ways than one. We discuss our time at Johns Hopkins, what we’ve gained from our undergrad years, and how we did our best to “make it” - especially as a collective!
You read that title correctly - a writer who trades stocks! In this chat, Sami finds time to speak Diara about her relationship with writing and how her two homes - New York City and Dakar - have shaped her approach to life. Like many of us, Diara had to adapt during this pandemic and she's since honed in on successfully trading while sharing her creative work on her blog. You'll hear about the writers she's thankful to have influenced her, the relationship she has with herself + her health, and the values she's been taught since childhood. Be sure to check out www.mdksays.com to read her work!
Dreams, goals, expectations - oh my! We talk about what we heard in the background as we were growing up, especially as Africans, and how those same things have changed. If you were ever told (or not) to be come a “doctor, lawyer, or engineer”, you won’t want to miss this episode!
In this interview, Awoe speaks with friend, mentor, and strategist extraordinaire Christina Glancy on the lessons she's learned in her 20's. Take a listen to hear these gems about living intentionally, "operating with grace", and maintaining relationships in the middle of challenges.

Walking away from a place filled with memories - good and bad - can be quite the challenge, especially when you do so in a pandemic! In this episode, the team talks about how we’ve moved on from our college days and some signs that showed us moving on is easier said than done.
While pop culture calls this "post-grad depression", depression is a real matter that isn't a suitable catch-all to describe every and any setback we face. We detail where we've felt lost in more ways than one after our big day in May and how depression may show up.
