Dr. Shanika Hope and Emily: Taking The Limits Off

Dr. Shanika Hope and Emily: Taking The Limits Off

It’s the season 4 launch of Formative! This week’s guest was so focused on surviving transitional life in foster care, she didn’t think she’d attend college — much less accomplish a PhD and keep going. Dr. Shanika Hope is now the Director of Education for Social Impact at Google. In this episode, 8th grader, Emily, shares her own hopes and concerns and hears what it’s like for one woman in technology who learned to take the limits off and take a risk on herself.
