    Yup in My White...What?! - Emory University
    Dec 26 2023
    Dr. Rae rounds out the first season! Yup we made it ya'll...and it's a good one. She breaks down what it meant to attend Emory University, which we lovingly dubbed 'EM OR REEE".

It was still a good time bering around black culture right outside your door, oh and just casually running into a few rappers, singers and famous black figures was a regular occurrence. Dr. Rae Wynn-Grant is a wildlife ecologist, author, speaker, podcast and television host, nature lover, as well as millennial Black woman, mother, friend, and someone who considers herself to be pretty hilarious.

    Shandra L. McDonald, DPA, is a student success strategist. But it took a lot to get there, she went through a lot of challenges as a student at California State University, Long Beach (CSULB) and University of La Verne (ULV).

She’s passionate about helping college freshman survive and thrive during their first year and beyond. She knows first-hand what it is like to struggle academically as a college freshman but she didn’t give up. Instead, she developed strategies to transform from Clueless to Cum Laude.
