From Beijing/Hainan, standing 185cm tall, at Forward, meet Mcrid! This globetrotter is probably the most woke person I've met in Singapore.
Mcrid talks about how studying in Canada and the US has shaped his identity as he experiences Black Lives Matter at a predominantly white New England liberal arts college (12:30) before transferring to Cornell (21:30) and finding himself in an offshoot Buddhist sect (30:55). And as if he hasn't toed the line enough, Mcrid talks about becoming a Christian in China - where the party, not the trinity, comes first (39:00).
And if you're curious what a man named "Mcrid" looks like, you can listen and find out (47:45).
