 Introduction
“A mentorship is a relationship between two people
where the individual with more experience,
knowledge, and connections is able to pass along
what they have learned to a more junior individual
within a certain field. The more senior individual is
the mentor, and the more junior individual is the
mentee”-Yetunde Oshinkale
