Overcoming Risk Factors | Amanda Muhammad | TEDxIndianaStateUniversityWomen

“Overcoming Risk Factor" tells the story of defying the odds associated with being an academic risk. In this reflection, Amanda Muhammad details the challenges she encountered during her formative years yet persisting to complete a doctorate and attaining Professor's rank. The reality is, as many of us know, all students have "risk factors," but from her experiences, some students seem to receive daily reminders of their potential for failure rather than their potential for triumph. Amanda Muhammad, Ph.D., is a Professor in apparel merchandising at Indiana State University. She received her B.S. degrees from Fontbonne University in business, merchandising, and accounting, as well as a Master of Business Administration. Her Ph.D. in Human Environmental Sciences is from the University of Missouri – Columbia. Dr. Muhammad has one daughter, Saabirah Muhammad, who will complete her B.A. in Studio Art and a minor in Art History at Indiana State University in December of 2020. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
