  • Home did not wait for you, Part 1
    In this episode of Drained, I speak to Middlebury grad, Armel Nibasumba about finding peace while his home, Burundi, was at war. We talk about the struggles of uprooting our lives from our home countries in pursuit of a prestigious college degree and how that affects our identity and subsequently mental health. Armel is candid about feeling isolated from 'home', his fears, mental and emotional stress and seeking help. We also discuss religion's position in the mental health discourse. Enjoy!
    CW: Mention of suicide and war.
