As we celebrate the 30th episode of the Cohort Sistas Podcast we take a moment to examine one of the most common threads that come up in nearly every single episode: mentorship. Regardless of whether our guests have shared positive or negative mentorship experiences during their doctoral journey, it can't be denied that mentorship is one of the most important elements of success along this path. Today, we discuss the importance of having a mentor and particularly a Black woman to mentor you along your doctoral journey and beyond. Our host, Dr. Ijeoma Kola, shares some of her own firsthand experiences with different mentors. Dr. Kola breaks down the three categories of Black women mentors that she has encountered: the high-ranking Black woman mentor, the no-nonsense Black woman mentor, and the Auntie/Fairy Godmother Black woman mentor. She examines the pros and cons of each and gives some tips to make the most of any mentor-mentee relationship with one of these women. Lack of mentorship is the number one self-reported barrier to success in doctoral studies for Cohort Sistas members so tune in today to find out about the Cohort Sistas Sista Circle Mentorship Program and how you too can find a mentor that looks like you!
