Graduating from Oxford is an achievement that carries prestige — but for many African and international students, the story after the degree is far from glamorous. This episode of The Mantate Show explores the shared realities that too often go unspoken: visa hurdles costing thousands, survival jobs that test identity, mental health pressures, and the heavy expectations of peers and family. It’s an honest look at why for some, “just going home” isn’t always an option, and how many are forced to redefine success beyond the glossy graduation photos. If you’ve ever wondered what really happens after the cap and gown come off, this conversation is for you.
