66. Navigating Graduate School as a First Generation PhD and BIPOC Mother with Dra Yvette Martínez-Vu

Mrs Mummy PhD®

In this inspiring episode, guest Dra Yvette Martínez-Vu from Grad School Femtoring recollects her experience of navigating academia as a first-generation PhD student and BIPOC (Black/ Indigenous/ People of Colour) Mother with amazing insights on her femtoring services, her Chicana m(other)work, and her commitment to empowering first-gen scholars. She also discusses her journey of navigating motherhood, disability, and chronic illness in graduate school. She also shares her purposeful work towards demystifying the graduate school application process and supporting underrepresented groups in higher education.
