Getting a Ph.D. is not for the faint of heart and as a Black woman, social isolation can make it even more difficult. Here today on The Cohort Sistas Podcast is the incredible Dr. Anna Ampaw to tell us all about the highs and lows of the pursuit of her doctoral degree. In this episode, you will hear about Anna’s background, her family of immigrants, what she is currently doing, what made her shift focus from dentistry to biochemistry, and how her incredible supervisor made her into the doctor she is today. It’s no secret that getting a Ph.D. is unbelievably difficult and today, Anna walks us through the challenges and lows she faced throughout her journey before we explore how cultural diversity impacts studies and the importance of having a community and mentorship. She even goes into her high points, the funding of her program, what she would do differently given the chance, and so much more. She also discusses her amazing non-profit organization called Empowering Female Minds in STEM. Finally, she leaves Black women looking to do a Ph.D. with some wonderful pieces of advice. To hear the truth about getting a Ph.D. as a woman of color, tune in now!
