Do I always need an advanced degree?

"Really think if where you're going requires it. Get certifications. Seek opportunities that give you a chance to learn and grow.

Every textbook someone teaches from is available at a bookstore"

"As soon as you start school, you need to introduce yourself to Career Services. Trust that they need to know who you are"

"It's okay to be the only person in the space, but when you leave you can't be the LAST person in that space.

If you are Black and in that space, know that you are the best of the best and own that."
