Happy Friday fam! This week's podcast is a special shout out to graduate students around the world, but especially to those first year grad students who are just joining the fold. Jess talks about a couple pieces of advice she wants to pass on that she and some friends have learned over their first years and of course, there's another In Black History This Week segment to share some more historical facts from https://www.africa.upenn.edu/K-12/Today_B_History.html. 

Let Jess know in the comments or on instagram @focusforwardfridayspodcast how you like this episode and if there's any suggestions or topics you want her to cover in the future. See you next time!
