In this episode we spoke with Alishba Zarmeen from Pakistan, Omar Al-Fotihi from Yemen and Juan Ibáñez from Panama. Because this conversation was two hours long, we decided to publish this episode in two parts, this is part two. If you missed part one you can check it out now on your streaming platform. In the first part of this episode, we ended by talking about how being an international student has prepared us for certain aspects of this pandemic.
