Episode 054 - Giving Back And Mentorship
Welcome to this weeks episode of the layers of design podcast. I'm your host Ebehi and as always, thank you for tuning in. If this is your first time, thank you and welcome!
This episode is dear to my heart as I've grown to know our guest this week and she truly is phenomenal! Let me introduce you all to Kyrah L. Williams, a successful, multi-faceted young woman with many talents. Dedicated to helping her community and making a difference for others, her purpose is clear - service. Kyrah graduated from the University of Miami in 2016 with her Bachelor of Science degree in Architectural Engineering and in 2018 with her Master of Architecture degree. She has not only worked for several Architectural and Engineering firms, but she has actually started her own drafting firm. In addition, she runs her non-profit, A'naiys Charities, which is a 501C(3) tax-exempt organization in Miramar, Florida dedicated to cancer research, comforting the homeless, protecting abandoned animals, and increasing representation of Blacks and minorities in STEM and Architecture. Also, she runs America's Hidden Gem™ - a platform dedicated to celebrating the Black Architect and ally professionals and also hosts the branch podcast - America's Hidden Gem™ the podcast with a peer. Through mentorship and professional development summits, she aims to increase the percentage of Black architects from ~2%. She is currently working as a Project Manager for a Structural/Forensic Engineering firm in Miami, Florida.
In this episode, she inspires us by sharing her journey in the field of architecture, engineering, how she got started with A'naiys Charities and Americas Hidden Gem and most of all, what it truly means to give back! Like I told her, this episode is so wholesome. Recording and editing it felt like having I was having a warm, homecooked Thanksgiving meal! Well, keep listening and you'll see what I mean. Enjoy!
Our Design X Community: Rethinking Public Spaces event is less than two months away! Thank you to everyone that has supported us so far! This event is to bring awareness, provide solutions and give back to the homeless community! Its a 3 part event that includes a design competition, virtual design seminar and an outreach event!
