The First-Gen Lounge, an award-winning podcast, is the FIRST show of its kind and #1 in the world for first-generation scholars and professionals. It is a place where we come to kick it and talk honestly about all things life. You’ll cry. You’ll laugh. You’ll grow… and you’ll be inspired while listening to motivating stories and valuable lessons from fellow first-gens. In every session, you’re going to get practical strategies for becoming the best version of yourself. From entrepreneurship, mentorship, graduate school advice, boosting productivity, finances, networking, facing adversity, and changing the world around you—we chat about it all (you can expect quite a few laughs, too)! More importantly, here YOU WILL find a strong community that will encourage you to keep growing each day—we’re people who break barriers and defy the odds but understand there is still much ahead of us; therefore, leaning on, and learning from, each other is what we do. So, go ahead and grab a seat, get real comfortable, and join the conversations every Thursday at 9pm EST! Learn more at www.thefirstgenlounge.com. #TheFirstGenLounge

Let's take it back with this one. As we continue to move through the seasons of life, let's not forget to check in with ourselves. What does it mean to you to acknowledge that a truth exists? Once you bring it to your awareness, what do you do with it? Recently, someone shared with Dr. Eve that... Even if you try to act like a truth doesn't exist, that's not going to make it go away. So, let's talk tonight about acknowledging your truth. Don't forget to connect with me on LinkedIn, Instagram, and Facebook @Evingerlean.

Spring 2023: Session 265 (Being Without An Apology with Evingerlean D. Blakney, Ph.D.)
Something I was pondering the other day... It'll be moments in life when things will happen, and situations will leave you feeling like you deserve an apology, but you won't get it. I've come to understand that, for every apology that you’ll never get, reconcile/make peace with this tidbit. Don't forget to get connected with me on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram at @Evingerlean.

Customer Reviews
A Gem of a Resource
Dr. Eve is so engaging and shares much needed information to help first-gen college students. I love listening and share the show with everyone.
Inspirational, Energetic and Real
As a new business owner this podcast really speaks to me. Dr. Eve is raw and real in her encouragement of first-gens and business owners. It was honestly kind of the podcast I never knew I needed, I can not wait for more. Giving honest advice with energy and purpose behind it. It feels like a conversation with a knowledgeable friend and that is amazing.
Raw, Honest, and Genuine
It seems like a lot of podcasts, especially ones that try to give life advice, don’t come from a genuine place. This podcast does, and does in spades.
I will actually use what I’ve learned while listening, which isn’t something I can say for every podcast I listen to. The First-Gen Lounge is great, and I’m excited to keep coming back to hear more.
