Zenith of Your Story
As an STEM educator and researcher the most unique part of my day is when students come to my office hours to talk about more than just content. This podcast is to give voice to the journey we all go through as we get to know who we really are, the challenges we face, the knowledge we have. Discovering where we belong and negotiate the intersectional identities and backgrounds we balance in different academic and personal contexts. The Zenith is the culminating moment in your life of grand success, it is also the direction directly above you. It is not enough to move forward but also to move up. How that journey looks for you is what this podcast gives voice to.

Episode 1
My first episode I wanted to share it with the co-creator of this idea. My good friend Joinee Taylor, a graduate student in education research. As an international Black Caribbean student, she speaks to experiences with race, challenges with work and academia, and those special pieces of her story that keeps her motivated.
