I love this podcast. I have been inspired to continue my education and pursue a masters in teaching. I was awarded a scholarship that will cover half of my tuition. I've also found assistantships after learning of them on this podcast. I look forward to listening to more episodes!Read full review »

This is a must for all current and prospective grad students. Dare I say Blk in Grad School (Strengths not Strikes) is more than a podcast but the spark in a movement for a more positive, productive outlook in academia. The info is very helpful from applying to grad school to enhancing writing...Read full review »

And BLK + In Grad School has helped me understand the hurdles, and the strategies that can be applied to overcome the most common obstacles.

I’ve found this podcast very helpful and encouraging as I finish a masters thesis in biomedical engineering. Grad school isn’t easy for anyone, but being black in these predominantly white and Asian spaces is very stressful. As a student of color, I often feel my work is undervalued, and...Read full review »

Great Prodcast, as a black man in a Grad program ( Ed.D), a lot of this resonated with me. Keep up the great work.

The angle that Allante takes is providing true support by sharing her experiences. So much relate ability in what you’re speaking towards and always adding value.

I just defended my dissertation after 5.5 years in a doctoral program. She really captures the ups and downs of being POC and/or woman in a doctoral program at a PWI. If you are interested in grad school and/or academia listen to this podcast.

Loved it. It was very informal because the guest was her mother, but it was validating for me as another non traditional phd. I heard so many things that I could identify with while listening. Thanks. I am anxiously awaiting the one with your mom and her experiences with caregiving whole in...Read full review »
