"Ansley Booker is my mentor! We first met on a "Dinner with a Dozen Dawgs🐶 " event hosted by the Student Alumni Association. From that very moment, I saw so much of myself in Ansley. Only a few weeks later, I chose Ansley to become my mentor. Come to find out, she sits on the Black Alumni Leadership Council--the same council that gave me my very first academic scholarship here at UGA. A coincidence, right?🙃 This same semester, Ansley gave a TedTalk at TedxUGA on minority women undertaking careers in the STEM field. Considering I am an African American women looking to undergo the MD, PhD track, Ansley inspired me to use every barrier set against me as an incentive to push harder💪. Ansley is the epitome and voice for many minority women who feel submissive in male-dominated fields. ​
Not only has Ansley been known to me as an Auntie-like figure, mentor, a personal advocate for my college journey--Ansley became my Soror by means of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated: an organization focused on the constructive development of its members and the black community. As you can see👀, my academic and personal endeavors have greatly benefited from the mentorship of Ansley Booker. I recommend the #UGAMentor Program to those who are willing to engage in a relationship that builds their professional, academic, and personal references." --Gee Egberi, Biology & Women's Studies UGA '22 #InstagramYourExperience
