    In an illuminating conversation with PO alumni, Dr. Hughes-Hunter and Sneha Gandhi White shared their journey through mentorship, and their top recommendations for mentors and mentees to gain fulfillment in their roles together. In the episode of Mentorship, we had the pleasure of having multiple voices share their experience with mentorship across many levels. We each shared our insight as mentors first, but also as mentees and the needs of both throughout the experience. This is a very impactful topic, because in today’s society young people are not taught the importance of having a mentor. No matter who you are, and what phase of life you are in, you deserve to have a guide who will nurture, guide, and support you in your own pursuit of happiness. Everyone deserves to live their life in a state of joy in their personal and professional lives. A successful mentor-mentee relationship can be very beneficial to all parties involved! After listening to our discussion, it is our hope that more audience members would have a desire to seek out a Mentor in their own lives.
