Grad School Femtoring: Inclusive Grad School Stories, Personal Development, and Productivity Tips for First-Gen BIPOCs

This week we cover the topic of financial wellness and wealth building with our guest, Leah Davis. Leah Davis is a dedicated Wealth and Wellness Coach for Black, Indigenous, Latinx, and Women of Color. She is committed to supporting women with mastering their mindset, behaviors, and habits with money to achieve their desired financial outcomes. Leah is a certified Domestic Violence Advocate and brings a healing-centered approach for women who have experienced gender based violence and childhood domestic violence.

On the show, she shares her background of growing up in a lower-income family with domestic violence and later becoming a young single mom, a financial advisor and a coach. Leah talks about the importance of focusing on overall wellness and taking a holistic approach to finances. She advises being gentle with yourself and trusting the process as you embark on your own wealth building and healing journey.

This week I'm sharing some key questions you should ask yourself when considering applying to graduate school. These questions cover your motivations, career goals, and level of self-awareness. After answering these questions, you'll be closer to making an informed decision regarding whether or not it makes sense for you to pursue grad school. I'm also excited to announce my new book "Is Grad School For Me?" is available for ordering. I co-authored this book with Dr. Miroslava Chavez-Garcia to provide the guidance I wished I had as an undergraduate. Please order the book and let your friends and professors know that it's available for all first-gen BIPOC students applying to grad school.

On today's episode of the Grad School Femtoring Podcast, we dive deep into ancestor work, lineage, and legacy building with my dear friend Camila Lacques-Zapién. As first-gen BIPOC students and professionals, understanding our histories and tapping into ancestral wisdom can be profoundly healing and empowering.

Camila Lacques-Zapién helps BIPOC & first gen visionaries build legacies rooted in community & authenticity through her business, ALA CAMILA. She offers personal statement, admissions, creativity, holistic purpose and career coaching. She prides herself on being a compassionate, multi-ethnic, Chicana mystical hype woman, an avid LA sports fan and a lover of creative writing. 

On the show Camila defines what ancestor work and legacy building means beyond mystical and financial associations. She shares ways to connect with one’s ancestry and legacy through intention and daily practice. And she teaches us that doing this work can help us better understand our talents and purpose. I hope her words inspire you to honor the past and walk boldly into your future.

I’m excited to share that today’s episode features Michael A. Hunt who comes on the show to discuss the topic of holistic critical mentorship and reexamining how we mentor. Michael is a native of Baltimore who has served as a university/college administrator, middle & high school math instructor, musical vocalist, and social justice educator, shaping the lives of today's leaders. Michael’s work, for the past twenty years, focuses on Diversity Equity and Inclusion (DEI) within institutional structures by encouraging radical inclusion through social justice engagement & holistic partnerships. His personal research bridges spirituality and STEM education by providing culturally nuanced resources for increasing self-esteem and promoting holistic critical mentoring. He embraces that "If I can help somebody as I pass along, then my living shall not be in vain."

On the show, we learn about Michael’s framework for holistic critical mentoring. He shares the origins and development of this approach to mentoring, which was informed by his service to the Ronald E. McNair Program. Michael also stresses the importance of considering students' holistic experiences and needs when mentoring them and the role that building community plays in fostering institutional change. He also offers advice for students and professionals seeking to implement this mentoring framework within their practices, policies, and culture.

Today's episode is packed with invaluable insights from Dr. Antoinette Newsome, who recently completed her doctoral program while working full-time. Dr. Antoinette is a low-income, first-generation, Black and mixed-race woman who centers the identities of marginalized groups in her practice and research. As a scholar-practitioner, Antoinette is passionate about social justice and equity-based work along with supporting low-income first-generation college Students of Color. Her current research centers post-secondary schooling support systems for students of color, mentoring and peer-mentoring relationships for women of color in the academy, and equity-based action for inclusionary practices at the institutional level.

On the show, we explore her grad school and employment journey, learn more about her non-negotiables for wellness and success, acknowledge the power of tapping into your personal and professional networks, and Dr. Antoinette offers advice for first-gen BIPOCs who are also considering graduate school.

In this episode, Dra. Yvette discusses the topic of the adjunctification of academia as well as how and why it’s important to plan for a career outside of the tenure-track. Believe it or not, you likely have had a professor who earns wages that are below the poverty line, relies on public assistance, and/or  struggles to meet their basic needs. If you are being trained to become a tenure-track professor, the grim reality is that there’s a good chance you won’t land a t-t job, not because you’re not competitive or qualified, but rather because there just aren’t enough jobs. Tune in to this episode to learn a few ways to keep your career options open as you navigate grad school.

This week, I am thrilled to have Dr. Gina Ann Garcia with us who talks to us about equity and justice in Hispanic Serving Institutions.

Dr. Garcia is a professor in the Berkeley School of Education. Dra. Gina's research centers on issues of equity and diversity in higher education with an emphasis on understanding how Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) embrace and enact an organizational identity for serving minoritized populations. She is the author of Becoming Hispanic-Serving Institutions: Opportunities for Colleges & Universities as well as Transforming Hispanic Serving Institutions for Equity and Justice. She is also the host of the podcast ¿Qué pasa, HSIs?

In this conversation, we explore the following topics: The importance of HSIs and their role in promoting equity and justice in higher education. The challenges of implementing servingness and the time and effort it takes for institutions to transform. She introduces her podcast, ¿Qué pasa, HSIs?, and how she’s using it as a tool for professional development, sharing best practices, and uplifting voices in the field. She also offer advice for first-gen BIPOC students considering graduate education at HSIs.

You can connect with Dr. Gina with the following links and handles:
