Manage episode 192883290 series 1129433
Anna Nti-Asare is a writer, teacher, counselor, a graduate of both Stanford and Cambridge, and soon to be a PhD student at Cambridge. Anna focuses her efforts on gender and race issues in the United States with an emphasis on how those issues relate to the country’s youth and pop culture.
In this episode, Anna opens up about her own struggles in her educational journey and personal life and how she feels it’s important to look past a resume and see all the times a person wasn’t able to achieve their goals because, only when doing that, can others learn their failures aren’t actually failures at all.
