Oct. 23 is host Rosemary's one year work anniversary. After 6 months of content pause, Rosemary is finally back with some life update. Is H1b the magic potion? Your might have a second thought after listening to this episode.

2024 marks the 10th year of Lan, a two-time international student (first in Belarus, then in the U.S.) and cultural psychologist, being in the United States. Lan shares with me her love-hate relationship with the roadblocks—the H1B visa and immigration status—that stand in her dream of becoming a professor. There were many times she felt like giving up on academia because the ride it's too rugged. The lack of freedom of choice makes her feel vulnerable. Nonetheless, she managed to turn her vision from 10 years ago into reality.
