Description:
In this episode of The 3 Parallels Podcast, Dr. Branch sits down with one of his former mentees, Dr. Kalesha Jenkins. Growing up in Philadelphia, Dr. Jenkins faced and overcame countless obstacles on her path to earning a doctorate in counselor education and supervision. Today she continues that journey as a researcher and professor. She opens up about her background, community, and culture, reflecting on how her perspective on life has shifted over the years. Dr. Jenkins also shares the raw truth of becoming a mother in the middle of her dissertation and the challenge of balancing a life-changing academic milestone with raising a child. Her story is one of grit, growth, and transformation through the 3 Parallels: who we were, who we are, and who we are becoming. Listeners will hear from someone who is not only healing but also willing to share her truth with the world.
