In this part 2 of her interview, she shares her stories of returning to India for university and not being able to fully share about her growing up in Oman. As time went on, she realized that she shouldn’t lock up those experiences which were so much a part of her.

“I don’t want to lock away my experiences or my childhood because they have made me who I am.” -Sherene Joseph
