This week, my guest is Rubi Tapia. In addition to being in a doctoral program for biomedical engineering at Northwestern, she also hosts a podcast called “Academic Comadres” with her amiga Cyn Nunez.  

Rubi reflects on the current political climate and disturbing anti-immigrant rhetoric. She shares how she was undocumented until she was sixteen years old, reality that shaped her high school years. She is very proud of her Mexican heritage.  

Rubi also shares her understanding of faith and the importance of gratitude. Today she is still open to building a strong relationship with God.  

We also spend some time talking about our mental health struggles. We can never assume what someone else is going through. Rubi keeps a photo of herself on her desk as a reminder to make that inner child happy. I know you are going to love this interview as much as I do!
