Arujala shares her reflections of the impact on her upbringing due to the trauma her parents had to go through being refugees. In a state of uncertainty whether or not Canada is a new home or just temporary, we discover why friends and family choose to stay. Will we be different?
Joletta and Edward are joined with Arujala to share their family's journey moving across the world to Canada. How is it different? How do you identify yourself? How easy is it to seem integrated in Canada or your native country? Although it is undeniable that our parent's struggles were much worse than anything we had to experience, we share our unique perspective on what it is like to be raised by immigrant parents striving to adapt in Canada.
What is it like to be a woman studying/working in the STEM (Science, Techonolgy, Engineering, Math)? Do they have it easier or are there more hurdles to jump? How do women end up in the STEM field?

With our special guest Wish and our cohosts Joletta and Edward, we provide stark contrasts between male and female engineering experiences.
