[Bonus] Mohammed Rafique | Student Spotlight

We interrupt our regular season to bring you this bonus interview with Mohammed Rafique. Mohammed is a student at the University of Waterloo, and he talks about his experience as a refugee from Myanmar and the desire of refugees to feel known and at home. He discusses his advocacy work with the Rohingya Association of Canada, his meeting with Justin Trudeau, his play I am Rohingya, and the documentary of the same name.
