In this touching and humorous episode, Dr. Kimberly Payne, Organizational Development Manager at Old Dominion University, discusses her journey as a student, from her time at Norfolk State University trying to fit in and navigate life as an undergraduate student while coping with personal losses (trigger warning), to her professional experiences in radio and television production. She shares how mentors, including her parents and professors, guided and supported her through life's challenges. Throughout the conversation, she shares the importance of being authentic, addressing students' unique needs individually, and finding balance through hobbies and self-care. As always, we wrap up with our favorite game of Top-Five, this time focusing on favorite songs across genres and favorite moments in Hip Hop.
