Description
In this episode, we are joined by our friends Omar Popal and Umar Durrani. They are both first-year medical students that were raised in immigrant households. We talk about how our career aspirations were shaped by our upbringings and how to handle school as a first-generation immigrant. We also compare and contrast our experiences as daughters and sons in an Islamic household.
