Scholar Stuff with Kendra l Ep 147 - a podcast by Strengths not Strikes / Westwood One Podcast Network

This HBCU grad and advocate is changing the narrative of HBCUs one student at a time. Meet Kendra, a second-year Ph.D. candidate at Jackson State University pursuing a degree in Urban Higher Education. Kendra has served in various capacities at HBCUs including North Carolina Central, Wilberforce University and Livingstone College. She currently serves as the Director for Career & Professional Development at Wiley College in Marshall, TX.

In this episode, Kendra discusses how HBCUs saved her from being a high-school dropout and paved the way for her career in academia. Having attended an HBCU for her entire educational career, Kendra uses her knowledge and experience to encourage and empower students of color through her IG blog, @ScholarStuff.

This episode makes you think about success outside of your credentials and reminds you to be humbly confident in all of your accomplishments.

Kendra’s Lesson from the Trap throws it back to J. Cole’s “The Autograph.”
