As we commemorate the 50th episode of Can I Preach, the podcast gods have FINALLY answered my prayers and delivered me a guest. Perhaps the wait was worth the while as the man joining us today has lived quite the experience over the past 12 months. In 2019, Donavere left the humble shores of Dundee, Scotland and ventured off to study abroad in Hong Kong, where he got caught up in the protests. He was then relocated to Australia, his arrival ushered in with the terrible bushfires. Now back home in the U.K, my globe-trotting friend is here to speak about the state of modern-day activism, Black Lives Matter, Biden 2020 and why it’s important to have conversations about racism. 6:00- Donavere’s big move to Hong Kong, his difficulties adjusting and the struggle that is culture shock 18:30- The Hong Kong protests and why it was important for Donavere to participate in these protests. 30:00-Racist stereotypes and navigating the corporate world as a black person 38:00-Donavere’s experience in Australia and the rise of environmental activism 45:00-Black Lives Matter and having uncomfortable conversations about racism. 01:17-Biden 2020 and the rise of Kamala Harris The post EP 50: Activism & Talking About Racism With Donavere Mahon appeared first on Can I Preach?.
