Esham stops by the Common Room and tells Willie why he describes himself as sensitive (3:05) and why his diverse family can be described as a “mini-UN congregation” (8:03). Esham also reflects on why he chose to attend Princeton (19:21), why his family WhatsApp group led him to take an interest in China (24:30), how his acceptance into a deferred admittance business school program allows him to take more risks (29:21), and why he chose to be an alumni ambassador for his Schwarzman cohort (37:44).
