Highly Recommend

The content that Malika talks about in this podcast makes it so easy to listen to her and follow everything she says. I really love how authentic she is, which makes this podcast so trustworthy. I have learned a lot from her podcasts and resonate with a lot of the information she shares.

Amazing podcast

This podcast was assigned to us in a comm grad school seminar. This is an excellent listen and I enjoy it!

Made me feel so much better about my Graduate progam:

I just recently started my graduate program in Communication Studies, and even though I did well in my undergrad I was terrified about my graduate program. Listening to this podcast helped ease a lot of my early anxieties, and gave me advice that has really changed my outlook on it. Great podcast!
