Dr. Toyin Alli of the Academic Society on Going Against the Grain & Trusting Your Decisions

The Cohort Sistas Podcast

We are so lucky and excited to sit down with Dr. Toyin Alli in today's episode to talk about her inspiring and somewhat unusual path through academia, and why she chose to focus on teaching above all the other areas of the tertiary educational space. Dr. Alli also shares about her amazing company, the Academic Society, and its work helping students through developing time management, productivity, and self-care tools. Toyin is currently a senior lecturer at the University of Georgia and has been working full-time in teaching since she completed her Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of Alabama in 2016. Our guest generously shares a lot of insight and honest reflection from different points in her journey, from the summer programs she took part in, to finding her groove in teaching, and mentorship relationships that have helped her toward success. We also discuss the lack of encouragement for Black women and POC in the math field and the responsibility that Dr. Alli feels to shift this reality. So for all this and more from a truly dedicated and inspiring friend of the show, listen in now.
