Architects Like Me
Welcome to "Architects Like Me,” a podcast series where I, Biancha Claritt, an architect-in-training based in Atlanta, GA, share the inspiring stories of emerging and seasoned professionals in the AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) industry. With a Bachelor of Architecture and a BS in Construction Management from Kennesaw State University, I've had the privilege of collaborating with visionary individuals who redefine what it means to be a professional.
Join me as I interview these remarkable architects and construction professionals, documenting their journeys, challenges, and successes. Together, we'll explore their innovative approaches, leadership qualities, and the impact they continue to make in our industry. Tune in to be inspired by their experiences and gain valuable insights into the future of architecture and construction.

Architects Like Me with Joanna W.
In this episode of the Architects Like Me podcast, Joanna Munei shares her journey from high school in Kenya to becoming an architect with a focus on global health. She discusses the challenges of navigating architecture school as an international student, the importance of trusting the process, and how cultural identity shapes her work. Joanna reflects on the need for fluidity in architectural theory, the significance of community, and the impact of mentorship in her journey. The conversation explores the realities of navigating cultural transitions, overcoming academic pressures, and the importance of finding balance beyond school. Joanna emphasizes the value of discipline, ambition, and building connections outside of architecture, encouraging listeners to embrace individuality, find joy in their work, and be kind to themselves along the way.
