The Only Black Girl On Mars

By: Andrea Afua Kwamya
  • Summary

  • Simply put, being a woman of color in the working world is weird. It can feel like an otherworldly experience. As a whole, we continue to run into obstacles when it comes to corporate growth, and often it can be difficult to fit in when you are the only person of color on a team or in a department. --- Join, Andrea Kwamya, host and founder of BGOM Consulting, as she sits down with special guests to discuss various nuances of life, work, mental health, and social situations through the lens of an empowered black woman. Welcome to the Only Black Girl on Mars!

    Andrea will be hosting a free seminar Redefining Mentorship in the Digital Age, next Tuesday, April 13th 12PM PST. RSVP Here for this Free Webinar.

    Vanessa Anyanso is a Nigerian-American Counseling Psychology student born and raised in the suburbs of Washington, D.C.

She is broadly interested in Black mental health with a focus on Black women and other Black people with intersecting marginalized identities.

She aims to share tips and knowledge she wished she had when applying and entering graduate school and to highlight the areas of her field that could benefit from a multicultural lens.

    It's been a while, so I just wanted to check-in and catch you up before announcing the upcoming season. There are many exciting things in store that you don't want to miss!

    In this episode, I talk about:

    - The Infamous Missing Episodes

    - Friendship After the Awkward Years 

    UPDATES: I am being interviewed for the podcast Dope & Damaged next week, and I am finishing edits for my interview with guest Vanessa Anyanso, a very inspiring Ph.D. candidate who raised several thousands of dollars in between classes to support local shelters during the BLM movement last summer.
