Showing the Love

Dra. Yvette Martínez-Vu is an incredible person that I had the honor to collaborate for an edited book “The Chicana Motherwork Anthology” and as a guest for this podcast. Dr. Yvette shares so many gems and nuggets of wisdom for graduate students. A podcast you need to follow and support so that you don’t miss out on valuable information.

Dra. Yvette is a wealth of knowledge for first-gen college students. She shares valuable advice and does so in a thoughtful and approachable way. You should definitely subscribe if you’re a first-gen student.

“I've been listening to your podcast for a while now, and it's been incredibly insightful and comforting. Your discussions about graduate school applications, microaggressions and bias in academia, funding, and beyond have been so incredibly helpful in my journey to grad school.”

“Fantastic resource! This podcast has been amazing with giving me a guide on how to approach grad school and navigating the ins and outs of the application.”

“Very structured. I am someone who likes to find clear, ordered instructions on how to do something, and there are many things in a grad school application that require this kind of explanation. This podcast has helped me a lot in the process, especially because it is very well organized.”

"This is the best podcast I've come across that specifically understands first generation and Latino/a students! Dra. Yvette is first gen herself, so she knows how you're feeling and speaks to the things that mainstream college prep resources aren't talking about...This podcast has you covered with great advice!"
