In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Destiny Williams-Dobosz, a postdoctoral fellow in Educational Psychology. Drawing from her own journey, Dr. Williams-Dobosz shares how personal experience became a doorway into her research on help-seeking among Black women in STEM and first-generation college students.

Our conversation explores:

  • Redefining success in toxic environments
  • Strategies for asking for help in college settings
  • Ways to foster and support help-seeking behaviors in others
