Sheryl Kambuni is originally of the Kisii Tribe from Nairobi, Kenya, but she attends school outside of Chattanooga, Tennessee in the United States. She’s traveled to America to study psychology in the hopes of establishing her own firm in Kenya to assist her people’s mental health needs.

In this episode, we discuss the cultural pressures to study “approved” careers, lumping Africans and African American together all the time, growing up in Kenya, and Sheryl’s recent election as the first Black female Student Association President of her university since the mid-1970s.
