S01 E02: Being First Gen? First Gen and a half?

Published: Sept. 8, 2020, 5 a.m.

Serving you Zoom realness* as Diana and Brenda discuss their personal experiences being first-generation and what that construction has felt like and looked like as they navigate and translate with family, in school, and in their professional lives. We touch on the relationship to knowledge, resilience, and academia.

As you listen to this episode, we encourage you to think about the first time you realized that being first generation was a part of your experience? When did you learn, realize, understand? Was it in high school, college, or in your field? Keep the conversation going on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook with the hashtag: #IBWPOD.
