I enjoy listening and learning to Joyee’s podcast. She is so inspiring and brings on amazing guest who share so many amazing nuggets. I highly recommend you tune in !
Just had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Washington yesterday, and she ended our meeting recommending that I check out a few of her season 2 episodes. I just finished listening, and as current Ph.D. Student? All I can is WOW! I resonate so deeply with a number of her experiences & intentions so far and I think this podcast is great, vulnerable, and open for many Black students and future/current public health professionals.
Dr. Joyee is an inspiring public health researcher with a passion for communities. Her podcast is filled with teachable moments where she does an excellent job of making public health research easy to understand. She always helps us find the joy in the work we do as public health professionals. I highly recommend that you check out a few episodes of this podcast, and you’ll quickly see what I mean.
I truly enjoyed listening to Dr. Joyee’s dissertation journey because her story is not unique. My husband shared the same experience which landed him 2 masters and a PhD. I’m currently working on my dissertation proposal, so this episode really hit home.
I love everything about this podcast! I am a public health nerd and this podcast helps me to expand my network and learn about new areas. The podcast is always beneficial but also relatable. I love how honest and open Dr Joyee is. Thanks for all you’re doing for the public health field!
