In this episode I share college quick tips from our blog to help students manage the stress of returning home for the holidays. I also discuss one of the 5 ways to survive a group project in college. Our featured guest is Shonda Goward. Shonda is a living testament to what a first generation college student can become.
Currently, Shonda is working hard on her Doctorate degree in Education Administration. In addition to working on her PhD, she works full time at the George Washington University in Washington, DC where she serves as a Sr. Academic Advisor and Lecturer in Writing, when she's not doing that – you can find her teaching at a local community college. With all that on her plate – she still finds time to run an organization called First Generation University. A program dedicated to assisting first generation and non-traditional students not only get into college, and more importantly get out of college!

Greetings Fam, I'm a proud Florida A&M Rattler and a second-gen HBCU grad through and through. Co-founding and steering the ship at HBCU Lifestyle is my gig, where I get to mix my love for UX design, digital marketing, and tech into something really cool for the HBCU community. Oh, and I'm also involved with my local FAMU alumni association chapter; it's like keeping a piece of HBCU with me always. Plus, I'm in the trenches too, raising a college bound teenager. So, I know a little something about the highs and lows of this journey. My aim? To make HBCU Lifestyle as relatable, real, and informative as it can be, all while celebrating our amazing HBCU culture and heritage.
