The Non-Immigrant Student

The Non-Immigrant Student podcast is an audio journal of my grad-school (and now corporate) journey in the United States of America.

It is an inspirational podcast that seeks to encourage and provide guidance to other non-immigrant students across the globe on how to live their best lives while fulfilling their Study/Work Abroad dreams or living far away home!

My stories reveal all the lessons I'm learning on this journey, and I honestly believe that ''If I can do it, you can do it too!''

So excited to have you with me on this journey, Welcome!

Hi Tolu, This is [name]. We met at the Reboot Camp on Saturday morning, where you kindly shared your contact information. First, thank you so much for sharing your journey on your podcast. My decision to embark on my MBA journey was significantly influenced by your podcast, especially the episode with Nnamdi. I remember how I first considered applying to schools in the US, and in my search for insights from international students, your podcast came up. I ended up binge-listening to your episodes and became hooked! Thank you for sharing your experiences—from being an international student to navigating the job hunt and eventually working at Google. Your story is truly inspiring and relatable. Also, thank you for being so warm and friendly. You generously offered to connect me with people who could help with my application, even without me asking, and then went a step further by sharing your contact information. It is easy to see why you are that new Nigerian girl who has friends in all sects and factions of your alma mater. I mean, who wouldn't want to be friends with you? You’re doing an incredible job, and on days when it might not feel like it, I hope this message reminds you of the impact you’re making.
