CCCC Szn 2: Ep. 3 The Path is NOT Linear with Dr. Andrea Hunt

We back back after a little hiatus…

So excited for y’all to listen in on these juicy conversations with First-Generation professionals, students, and nuggets of wisdom along the way

The whole theme of conversation for this season is:

🎓The Path is NOT Linear

🎓 Ask For Help — Seek Assistance sooner than later (spoiler alert: it doesn’t make you any “weaker” to ask for what you need)

🎓 You Belong wherever you are in this moment (in your course, your institution, your work environment) — though systems were not created with First-Generation students in mind you still belong and should take up all the space you need & want

SOOO CLICHE FAM But Ima say it — YOUR PATH IS YOUR PATH… its about finding the courage to walk it unapologetically and authentically in our own skin… 

How do we do this?

💜We find communities of support whether its family or chosen family

💜We commit to our own healing and liberation so fiercely that we start to chip away at Imposter Syndrome

💜 Like Dr. Andrea Hunt says “We have to really own our stories and what our path is going to be and not get caught up in comparing yourself to other people”

This episode and podcast is an ode to First-Generation students and professionals navigating lyfe 

ONWARD! You got this! 🤗🎓🎉🥳🦋💜
