Ep 5: Studying in Europe and Navigating Multiple Identities with Bahumi Mogwe-Jansen
Show Notes

In this week's episode, Bahumi Mogwe-Jansen shares her experience as a Dutch-Motswana connecting to her Dutch ancestry in the Netherlands. She shares very useful information about considering  Europe as a cheaper alternative, compared to the USA,  when making the decision to live abroad. She also talks about being mixed-race, and how that looks different depending on where in the world she is.

Bahumi was born and raised in Botswana and now lives in the UK pursuing a PhD in Politics and International Studies. She completed a Bacherlor's in Governance, Economics and Development at the Leiden University with a minor in Sustainable Development, and subsequently a Master's at SOAS University in Development Studies.
