I've always been passionate about serving as a mentor, especially to fellow women of color. This past summer, through the magic of LinkedIn, I got connected with a young lady looking to re-enter the field of higher education and she asked me to be her mentor. As part of our professional development and mentor/mentee work, I challenged her to conduct some informational interviews. Sometimes in giving a challenge to a mentee, the mentor is in turn challenged. I decided to not only talk-the-talk, but also walk-the-walk by challenging myself to complete fifteen (15) informational interviews by the end of August. That challenge turned into something greater than I expected.
