Today I talk with Dr. Natalie Hart, a former student who was a Washington State Achievers Scholar at the University of Washington while I was the director of that program. Our conversation covers her from third grade when she knew she'd be a doctor (an astronaut doctor?), to her mentors that encouraged her to dream big, and what she learned about mentoring from her journey through higher ed and in her research. We'll talk about the Kingmakers of Oakland mentoring program and shout out Chris Chatmon, Founder of Kingmakers. Finally, Dr. Hart will share some strategies she used for creating a program at Stadium High School for young BIPOC men, and how she handled the pushback she received at the time.
Dr. Hart has her doctoral degree in K-12 Leadership in Urban Settings, and received her BA and MEd from the University of Washington, Seattle. She would like to continue her DEI work for an organization in southern California. She's an avid Disney fan and Disneyland visitor.
