QUOTABLES:
“I think the more important thing is making sure that mental health is looked at and treated just like a sports injury so that students aren't thinking that to admit that I've got some anxiety or depression is a weakness. That's not a weakness. And what we're trying to drive home is that's actually an area of strength, when you're able to admit, 'Hey, I need some help in this area.'”

This is an amazing podcast. I am glad you are stepping up and talking about a sensitive topic that is not talked about enough. Thank you for sharing this information. It effects students in higher education and the effects carry over into the workforce when the students graduate. Some students are tainted because there was not enough taught on diversity and the students perspective are skewed.
What an amazing podcast! I’ve received so much value from these conversations and experiences. This podcast is shedding light on some very important topics, especially in todays climate. I have been loving every moment! Diverse In The Margins is most definitely worth the listen!
I like that the episodes aren’t too long but are still very informative
Such a great approach on the different perspectives surrounding diversity and how it affects all communities! Enjoying each episode!
