Blk + In Grad School

I love this podcast. I have been inspired to continue my education and pursue a masters in teaching. I was awarded a scholarship that will cover half of my tuition. I've also found assistantships after learning of them on this podcast. I look forward to listening to more episodes!

This is a must for all current and prospective grad students. Dare I say Blk in Grad School (Strengths not Strikes) is more than a podcast but the spark in a movement for a more positive, productive outlook in academia. The info is very helpful from applying to grad school to enhancing writing skills to being your best self in your career. This podcast covers everything. Also, I recommend current grad students to check out the Scholars Circle.

You will love this podcast and the amazing host, Allanté. I am about to graduate from a STEM PhD program and I get so much out of this valuable resource. I think that's one thing that makes this podcast great...there is something for everyone, at all stages of this grad school journey.

I wish this had been around when I started my PhD. Also episode 77 is my favourite.

As a white male teenager I feel like this podcast is not catered towards me. But I really have enjoyed the episodes I have listened to so thank you for the tips in life

I love this podcast and the resources and stories we get to gain confidence from. I just finished 2018 and I love that our good sis has a new mic but babyyyyy, I need you to back up a liiiiil bit cause every time you pause a thought and move the saliva around in your mouth the mic pics it up something serious 😩 Other than that, this is a true blessing for our community!

And BLK + In Grad School has helped me understand the hurdles, and the strategies that can be applied to overcome the most common obstacles. This podcast has illustrated that black grad school students are surely not a monolith, but there is a support system that will help us get through higher education.

I wish there was 10 stars so I could give the podcast a 10/10 — keep it up Allanté!

I found this podcast a couple months ago and it has been so great for me as someone who will be starting a grad program this fall! I love hearing the different perspectives from people in different fields and at different parts of their academic journey. I'm glad a resource like this is available to me and I look forward to keeping up with the show throughout my graduate career :)

I’ve been listening to this podcast for a while now. It’s has motivated me and helped me persist through some dark times during my grad studies. The representation of Black scholars and exposure to different career options has helped me navigate through academia! Keep it going this podcast is AMAZING 🤩🌟🌟🌟🌟✨

If you are thinking about grad school, listen to this podcast! If you are in grad school...definitely listen to this podcast! I’m completing a PhD and wish I had a resource like this in my master’s program seven years ago. This podcast maps language onto feelings and phenomenons that you otherwise might not be able to articulate. It also provides you with so many tools and resources to make your grad school journey a successful one. Definitely my favorite grad school podcast- hands down!

This is a must have if you’re going to grad school, thinking about going or already in school! The topics are relevant, the tips are EXTREMELY HELPFUL and LL is honest, transparent and down to earth. She’s super passionate about helping others through the grad school struggle, especially because she’s in grad school too! She’s created an extensive network and her annual Summit is something you don’t want to miss!!

I am a rising senior wanting to continue my education pursuing my PhD in Neuroscience. While, I have had experiences at graduate school and programs, I have not met many black PhD candidates! This podcast makes me feel like Im sitting in the room knowing that there are people who look like me, achieving the same goal. Thank you for insight and hope!!

If you are Black and in school (grad school, undergrad, etc.), this is the podcast for you! The topics are extremely relevant and relatable to various black experiences. I also love the incorporation and discussion of current events. I can tell the creator puts a lot of thought into topics, featured guests, etc. This podcast has had a positive impact on my decision to go to grad school and will help me in navigating the grad school landscape. Keep up the amazing work Queen!
