This week, I have a very exciting and insightful episode with a guest who I instantly connected with, Stephanie Santos Youngblood, who discusses the topic of informal mentorship and mentoring neurodiverse students. Tune in to this episode to hear all about: -What informal mentorship is, -The impact that campus service workers have on first-gen students, -Things to consider when mentoring neurodiverse students, -Our experiences being neurodivergent or having loved ones who are neurodiverse, -How to resit deficit-based perspectives and internalized ableism, and much much more! I have to admit this is probably among my top 10 favorite episodes and you’ll quickly learn why.
