Mentoring: an elusive concept that can be difficult to define and, at times, difficult to engage with someone. There are times when we do not know how to approach someone for mentorship/femtorship/guidance, and then there are times we do not even realize we are being mentored!

La Profesora talks with Dr. David Perez II and future Dra. Juana Osorio about how they define mentorship/femtorship/guidance, the challenges they have experienced as gente who are mentored and who mentor, and how we can think differently about this concept by focusing on cariño, reciprocity, communication, and investment.
