In this first episode, Gelila shares her story growing up with a single mother and as the first in her family to attend university. This episode is a fantastic kick-off to the Student Success Exchange!
Gelila talks about learning to think more critically about the world, finding and building community through involvement in student life, and being a person of colour in the post-secondary system. She also shares insights on navigating unexpected challenges, surrounding herself with support and role models, and so much more! Thank you, Gelila!
