Student, you will need mentors to succeed at every time of your career. Some will be brought to you, others will appear at your periphery. If anyone puts you down in any way, FIRE THEM. If they guide and encourage you, DON'T LET GO. Be brave in asking people to be your #mentor.

There’s a huge difference between diversity and equity. Diversity is getting everyone in the room. Equity is making sure each person has what they need to be successful there.
Equity without diversity is unfair.
Diversity without equity is inhumane.
We desperately need both.
