Episode notes

Ilyse Hogue's family is originally from Haiti, her parents' generation. She was born in New York City and grew up in Omaha, Nebraska. I think all of these different environments led me to have some questions just about what the different social makeup, economic makeup of the people around you are. And so in just some of the initial work, just talking to kids and figuring out how they thought about their lives leading to some of theInitial studies.

Uncover a transformative conversation with Mesmin Destin, an award-winning researcher and professor. Of Haitian descent, Destin's journey from his modest beginnings in Nebraska to being honored by the American Psychological Association is a testament to resilience and exploration.

🔹 Delve into the intriguing concept of "future identity" - the dynamic mental blueprints of our potential selves that can shape our motivations, behaviors, and success trajectories.
