About this listen

There's no doubt that the experience of being a Black Girl at a PWI is unique beyond words. As if being in such a mentally overwhelming and especially challenging space isn't enough--we rarely have the mentors, tools we need, or even a guidebook on how to make it to the other side. But.. what if we did? Through Black Girl At a PWI, you will get firsthand insight into what it really means to thrive instead of just survive--and what the journey of getting to a place of thriving actually looks like for those that live it. Within each episode and season of this pod, you will hear about the multi-faceted PWI experience of Black students and my spoken and authentic truths about my experience as a young, loud, Black woman at predominantly white institutions. In a safe space, there's not much that's off limits--so when we talk about identity, leadership, social life, imposter syndrome, love, isolation, community, stereotypes, crazy experiences and everything in between--don't be surprised! We're here to make sure that you have more than 10 minutes full of SOMETHING that will keep you laughing, crying, and syllable-clapping with us. So don't just take our word for it--listen in for yourself, you've been warned😉!

  • Black Girl At A PWI & Life At an HBCU
    Mar 16 2025

    How many times have you heard us say that Black Girl At A PWI isn't just about where you go to school but the predominantly white spaces that we exist in societally? If you're wondering where this episode is going, just now we go THERE. With our special guest Jordyn Clark--a Howard University graduate--this episode is dedicated to the Black Girls thinking about HBCUs, attending HBCUS, at PWIs, and just existing in majority white spaces. Per usual, we leave almost no stone left unturned--bridging the gap between two experiences worthy of not being so mutually exclusive.

  • Get Out Of Your OWN Way, Sis!
    Mar 14 2024

    There's no doubt that systemic racism, discrimination, misogynoir and everything else that tells our Black bodies that we don't belong in a space is EVER-present. But have we stopped to think about how these consistent environments impact our relationships with ourselves?

    In this episode, we cover the realities of what it looks like to be in our own way, while unpacking some things that can help us PROPEL into greater ways of being, living and loving our lives.
