In this week’s episode, we present our amazing colleague Ebun Falade. Ebun has been a great leader, and she's a phenomenal speaker and an excellent conversationalist, a fact that will become apparent when one listens to the episode. Ebun demonstrates to us the ability not to let her self-worth be defined by sets of numbers that may not determine who she is on the mere account of a bad semester. She made it a point to never dwell on her failures throughout her journey, for that sort of entrenchment in one's past defeat can lead to a crippling end. Every bad or good experience was a profound learning experience for her, which changed her perspectives and how she approached her future endeavors. She opines a bit on how to take advantage of social media to find academic connections; actually, she was able to secure a research position by sliding In the DMs. This episode is packed with tons of actionable advice through the reflections of her story.
