In this season finale episode, we're doing things a little differently. Today I'm talking with three good friends of mine from university, and we're getting real about the experiences we had, from growing up in the Caribbean, to completing degrees at Illinois Tech in Chicago and moving on to the world of work, navigating new careers as International students. This is part one of a two-part series you definitely do not want to miss! This is the REAL DEAL.
Our guests:
Raman Walwyn-Venugopal
Born and raised in Antigua, Raman is currently a software engineer and budding entrepreneur. His desire is to create solutions that serve and empower Caribbean people. During his spare time he enjoys being active outdoors and liming with friends and family.

Dr. Drexler James, PhD
A St. Lucian native, Drexler’s interest in Psychology as a young child has led him to a career in Social Psychology. He is currently on the tenure track as an assistant professor at Denison University, where he aims to advance theories of social stigma in ways that will help reduce the persistent health disparities that exist in our society. Dr James is particularly interested in how race and stigma operate from the perspective of both the perceivers and the targets.
