Preface You are listening to the German and the Indian, two young(ish) women who are dreaming big. Who have completely different backgrounds, and yet share so much: interests, challenges, ideas, and an upbringing heavily influenced by US culture. Together, they are navigating this world, cheering each other on, calling each other out, all the while discussing the big things: women’s issues, mental health, expectations for internationals in the US, accents, food, and Harry Potter.
