Ever feel like you're facing Everest when considering a doctoral degree? Dr. FeLisa Albert-Wisses, a beacon of hope and resilience, joins us to share her story of triumph over adversity in academia and healthcare. As a black woman who surged through the barriers of the healthcare system, she inspires us with her journey of choosing to disrupt systemic racism in education by pursuing a Doctorate in Public Health.
Through this candid conversation, Dr. FeLisa peels back the curtain on the largely unspoken challenges black women and non-binary individuals face in academia. She underscores the power of self-advocacy, confidence and a robust support system, all while navigating the transition from being a nurse and consultant to becoming a doctor. We glean insights on the potential financial benefits that come with a doctoral degree, as well as the importance of supporting and uplifting fellow black professionals.
As we traverse through this thought-provoking chat, you'll discover the significance of racial equity, magnified in the face of COVID-19. Dr. FeLisa combines her expertise in education, health, and racial equity to champion the cause of black women. This dialog serves as a reminder to prioritize self-care, especially for black women and non-binary doctoral students, emphasizing the need for mentorship and well-being. Join us for this compelling episode and learn to navigate academia with confidence, resilience, and compassion.
