In this episode of The Melanated Files (MFiles) we introduce Stephen Estelle, an English Teacher living in Japan. Stephen studied Mechanical engineering at both the undergraduate and graduate level and hopes to eventually land an engineering job in Japan. During his interview, Stephen relayed a very troubling experience that he had on a public onsen visit in Japan. His hope is to raise awareness about his experience and hopefully start a dialogue on what course of action foreigners can take if they find themselves in a similar situation. Watch to hear his story.
