This week, I have a very exciting and insightful episode with a guest who I instantly connected with, Stephanie Santos Youngblood, who discusses the topic of informal mentorship and mentoring neurodiverse students. Tune in to this episode to hear all about: what informal mentorship is, the impact that campus service workers have on first-gen students, things to consider when mentoring neurodiverse students, our experiences being neurodivergent or having loved ones who are neurodiverse, how to resit deficit-based perspectives and internalized ableism, and much much more! I have to admit this is probably among my top 10 favorite episodes and you’ll quickly learn why.
