About this episode

The episode features a discussion on the realities of Spring Break at different college stages, focusing on community, safety, and mental health.

Our Advisory Council members, Fatima, Jya, and Mikayla joined us this week for a lively and insightful group chat about what Spring Break really looks like at different stages of the college journey. They also discussed Black Spring Break Houston; the joy, the community, and the misconceptions; and how to approach it with safety, intention, and authenticity. We also talked about the financial realities of Spring Break, how to resist the pressure to keep up with social media aesthetics, and how to use this time off as a meaningful mental health reset.
