I sat down on location last summer with LaSharon McLean Perez, an administrator at the University of Southern California, Riverside. Perez heads the international studies department and is an avid traveler and speaks multiple languages. Off line, we lamented upon the lack of participation and interest black female students take in studying out of the good ‘ol U.S. of A., and she thinks there’s some perks about jet setting that you girls should know about.

(sound may be low, but I trust you’ll know what to do.)
