Dr. Emmanuela Stanislaus

In today's episode, I speak to Dr. Ayana Martin about everything from advocating for yourself, using mental health counseling to get unstuck, and dealing with imposter syndrome.

Ayana Martin, PhD completed her degree in Molecular Medicine and Translational Science at Wake Forest University. While in grad school, Ayana served as the President of the Black Graduate Student Association, the graduate representative of the Student Wellness Center, and led membership recruitment for the Winston Salem Urban League Young Professionals.
