What was it like to be a Routes In mentor?

I got nostalgic when i get asked the same questions I had at the begining of my career. It helps me put me own career and sometimes my personal life into perspective. It’s a form of theraphy for me. Being faced directly how we sometimes don’t appreciate how our own diversity - background or personality traits have opened doors that otherwise will not be available

What was it like to be a Routes In mentor?

What I love about Routes-In is that it creates genuine connections in all directions. Mentees inspire mentors, mentors inspire mentees, and everyone serves as a resource for others. They’re also very intentional with matching. My mentee [Evelyn] and I grew very close, and I believe it is in part because Routes-In is so skilled at creating great matches.

What was it like to be a Routes In mentor?

Mentoring really is a reciprocal exchange of thoughts, ideas, and experiences. The trust that is built, sets the scene for such a meaningful journey. As the mentor to a young woman, I found myself learning so much about a different world altogether. The matching of our cultural backgrounds, contrasted with complete differences in age and life experiences, made for a win-win outcome. They say that once you mentor someone once, you tend to be their mentor for life…I can testify to that truth.
