I also see my friends and upperclassmen as unexpected mentors. Always checking in, always sending opportunities, always there to commiserate and be a sound board ❤️ @FutureDrDukes @jessnoche @ylopez1192 @JanSVidal @lab_anjel @MariaMontchal.

Aside from my PI, I've been blessed with so many mentors along my journey that have helped me with all aspects of my PhD from grants to my DEI work to life to jst straight up warmth & support❤️ @smcstark @mike_yassa @AutumnSkyeIvy @manuellayassa & OF COURSE the @BlackInNeuro team.
Q4: Sometimes we find mentors when we aren’t even looking. Who are some unexpected mentors in your life? #BlackInNeuroMentors

I can't count how many times I just needed somebody to believe in me 🥲🥲 It truly works like magic in class and in the lab.
Impactful to hear that @DWWilliamsLab focused on making sure that her students knew that they were capable. That she helped them build their confidence in the lab and for their professional goals. #BlackInNeuroMentors #BlackInNeuroWeek2021.

A1: Mentorship means that no matter if I am thriving or drowning, I have support and compassion in all areas of my PhD. All of my problems may not be immediately solvable, but having somebody who truly empathizes and offers actionable items is key. #BlackinNeuroMentors.
Q1: Mentorship can mean different things to different people. What does mentorship mean to you?#BlackInNeuroMentors
