Student Spotlight with Patrice Juah, Master of International Relations candidate and acclaimed author

During this session, we will hear from celebrated Liberian author and IE School of Global and Public Affairs scholar, Patrice Juah. Ms. Juah will read the poems, “I’m Doing Me” and “Tell Your Story”, from her critically acclaimed book, “Under Ducor Skies”. Both poems explore the theme of authenticity, and the significance of owning one’s path, story and truth.  

“A modernist, thought-provoking piece of literary work that swings between the extremes of sorrow and joy, conquest and liberation, and weaknesses and potential.” ~ UN Africa Renewal Magazine, on Under Ducor Skies.

Patrice will then speak about her experience as an international student at IE and answer questions from candidates.
