“One of the dopest woman and educator took time out from a busy life to chat with us about how she’s helped clients navigate through these devastating time during the pandemic. Dr. Hughes also talked about her PhD journey, including experiences with racial microaggressions. She also gives advice to those who are considering the PhD path. What a generous and gracious woman, and someone whom I’m lucky enough to call my friend. All your flowers, Dr. Hughes! Thank you so much for all you do in academia, and the community, to amplify Black voices.”- Dr. Chioma Anah
