Last week, I applied to receive mentorship and well as to become a mentor with two organizations. Being able to uplift and guide the next generation is important to me because I know the impact my mentors have had on my life. They encouraged me to use my voice, encouraged me to challenge every boundary and supported me as I grew in their industry and outside of it.

This week's episode is special. I sat down with my recently retired mentor, Dr. Allen Cannedy, to discuss what put him in position to serve as a mentor for hundreds of graduate and undergraduate students.
