In this episode, Eric talks to Emish Ondiek a young pharmacist living in Kenya. Born with HIV, Emish grew up facing stigma for his status at home, at school, and with his peers. But this did not stop him. Pulling from the strength of the mother he never knew, Emish shares how he has gone beyond discrimination to build a career in science.
