Welcome to the More Than an MBA podcast!
We're introducing a mini-series on Diversity. Each episode will consist of a short interview with a guest and will be released bi-weekly in the month of August. Hope you enjoy it!
For this episode, we invited Duaah, a senior at George Washington University who is pursuing a degree in International Business. She is the author of her book “Finding Home”, which is a collection of poetry that talks about her experience growing up as a first generation Pakistani Muslim American in America. She has loved her experience at GW and hopes to help bring the GW community together in her final year at the school.
Side note: The meditation room that Duaah talks about in this episode is located on the 3rd floor of the Multicultural Student Services Center at GWU.
