ABSTRACT

Imagine the differences in culture one can experience from living in three different continents! Bralade Koroye-Emenanjo has first-hand insight into these culture shocks as she moved from Africa to the United Kingdom and eventually to the US. Her one constant was her love for math and its way of resolving itself in every equation. She recounts the ways success was rewarded in her home country as compared to other institutions she had attended. Her strong foundation of no gender disparity in STEM often led to her amazement at some of the challenges, which she faced. She has developed a podcast called STEMafrique to champion African women in STEM, as she tries to empower more women into STEM.
