310: How to Create a Mentorship Map and Use It as a Tool for Grad School and Career Success

Grad School Femtoring: Inclusive Grad School Stories, Personal Development, and Productivity Tips for  First-Gen BIPOCs

In this episode of the Grad School Femtoring podcast, I discuss the importance of creating a mentorship map, especially for first gen, BIPOC, and neurodivergent grad students, postdocs, and early career professionals. I introduce the concept of a mentorship map, which is a visual tool that helps document and categorize your mentorship support system. I explain how to create your own map, share examples from respected programs, and offer a free download of my holistic femtorship map. I also address how to overcome common challenges in finding mentors. Listen in to learn how to build a strong support network and ensure your success.
