S3E2 DC: AF-S and the Birth of Emily

I've spent most of my career—that's 35 years—living and working overseas for the U.S. Department of State Foreign Service.&nbsp; My coworkers and myself were responsible for carrying out U.S. foreign policy and helping U.S. citizens abroad.&nbsp; With this podcast, I'm starting at the beginning - or really slightly before the beginning—to walk through what it was like being 27, with a small child, moving overseas to Africa for the first time. Join my son and I as in each episode, I read my story and we talk through the challenges overcome and the joys discovered in My Foreign Service Life.
