About this episode
Graduation season is approaching and it’s a time of celebration and preparation for new beginnings. In this episode, we dive into everything you need to know about getting ready for graduation with special guest Kissena Frazier, also known as Queen K of Akcess Granted NY.
Queen K is the project director of a historical pre-collegiate program in Buffalo, NY, that supports first-generation high school students on their path to academic success. Together, we discuss tips for graduates, the challenges faced by first-generation students and how to transition from graduation into the next steps of your social work career.
Whether you’re a social work student gearing up for graduation, a first-generation student seeking guidance or a professional looking for inspiration, this episode is packed with insights to help you navigate this exciting milestone.
