QuadCast: Graduating sisters overcome poverty, racism

Egyptian-born sisters Yasmin and Ayaa Elgoharry came to the U.S. aged seven and 11. The only Muslim family in their neighborhood, the kids learnt quickly that after 9-11 their religion was something to hide. Having nearly dropped out of high school, discouraged by their school counselor to apply to anything else but a community college, they are now each graduating with a master’s in educational leadership from the University’s Warner School of Education. The first-generation college grads talk with host Sandra Knispel about their remarkable journey.
