The Writing on My Mind Podcast is an exceptional show that supports and uplifts the growing community of Women of Color (WOC) in academia. Hosted by Dr. Emmanuela Stanislaus, this podcast tackles relevant and real topics with a practical approach, offering a safe and empowering space for its listeners.
One of the best aspects of The Writing on My Mind Podcast is Dr. Emmanuela's candidness and authenticity. She fearlessly shares her own experiences as a WOC in academia and brings on guests who add immense value to the conversations. This transparency creates a relatable atmosphere where listeners can connect on a personal level, often finding themselves enthusiastically nodding along in agreement.
Another great aspect of this podcast is its focus on practical tips and advice for doctoral students, particularly those from minoritized backgrounds or who are first-generation students. The tips and experiences shared by Dr. Stanislaus and her guests are not only incredibly useful but also highly relatable for many listeners. This show truly acts as a valuable resource for those navigating the challenges of graduate school.
However, one possible downside to The Writing on My Mind Podcast is that it may feel niche to some listeners who are not part of the target audience. While it greatly resonates with black, female PhD students, individuals from different backgrounds or fields may not find the content as relevant or relatable. Nonetheless, this does not take away from the significance of this podcast within its intended community.
In conclusion, The Writing on My Mind Podcast is an essential listen for any doctoral student, especially those from minoritized backgrounds or who are first-generation students. Dr. Emmanuela Stanislaus creates a safe space where important issues are discussed openly and support is provided to those who often feel marginalized in academia. This podcast serves as both a source of inspiration and practical assistance, making it an invaluable resource for all aspiring academics seeking empowerment and validation within their academic journeys.
