I had the privilege of speaking with Allante of Blk+ in Gradschool, a podcast and community sharing stories and resources to help women and PIC to and through the grad school journey. Allante is a graduate student herself, finishing up her PhD research at Carnegie Mellon on the environmental and social implications of autonomous vehicle technology.

As you can hear, I thoroughly enjoyed speaking with Allante. I hope her audience found our interview useful.

Unless you were living under a rock, you probably heard about Dr. Mareena Robinson Snowden who went viral as the FIRST Black Women to get her PhD in Nuclear Engineering from MIT.

On this week's episode she talks about her life and career after that level of notoriety, especially when the ink had barely dried on her doctoral degree and she was entering the workforce. Mareena shares how she is charting her career path by gaining experience while exploring her interests, which she calls her 'unconventional post-doc'. She puts us on game (hence the episode name), sharing sage advice and insight on life post-grad.
