In this episode I talk to architect Mamuna Rashid a current student of architecture studying at Oxford Brookes University (OBU) in the UK. Since early education Mamuna has been labeled a failure and has had experienced bullying throughout her schools, colleges and University. The first University Mamuna attended and decided to leave is not identified but is in London. The current University, OBU is where fellow students bullied Mamuna and we discuss the impact on her mental health and why it has taken more than 8 years to finish her degree.
