So We Heard: Monica Discusses Mentorship

Prompted by our youngest team member’s desire for shorter podcasts on her regular commute to and from LSE, Can You Hear Us?  is proud to present So We Heard, a series of bite-sized, informal chats dedicated to exploring academic theories, case studies, and current affairs within international development through the lens of black, indigenous, and women of color (BIWOC). With episodes lasting 30 minutes or less, Can You Hear Us team members join assistant producer, Ragini Puri, on a quick deep-dive into what topic within development is peaking their

interest and why it matters. 

In the first episode of 2024, Monica, a CYHU co-founder, joins Ragini to discuss mentorship. As a young professional, she brings personal insights to the conversation. 

How has the nature of mentorship evolved in the twenty-first century?

What, if any, is the ideal mentor-mentee relationship?

How can cultural nuances affect mentorship?

We discuss this and a lot more in the fifth episode of So We Heard. Tune in to listen!
