PRIVILEGE AND MAKING IT COUNT ft. Christine | E19

01/24/24 • 44 min

"But 'with great power, comes great responsibility' and once you recognise your privilege: what can you do with it? That's where the magic happens." (Vicera, 2024)
📚 Christine, co-founder of Be/longing HK works in academia and found her position in the social impact space of the city. Her professional work has supported her community activities by empowering them to tell their stories through photography and writing. As a researcher and collaborator, she highlights what privilege is composed of, what we can do to recognise our own and what we can do after.

💰 Amidst the challenge of apathy and sourcing funds, Christine reminds us that creating positive social impact requires us to understand our beneficiaries; the communities we are doing this work for. Let's never lose sight of their wants ahead of our funders/ours.

RESOLUTIONS ARE OVERRATED ft. Tom | E20

🥂 "New Year, New Me" has become an overused and overrated phrase, often leaving us less motivated to set our resolutions effectively. In fact, a 2025 Forbes study revealed that nearly half of the respondents abandoned their resolutions by February, and less than ten percent stuck with them throughout the year.
"A lot of people are just appeasing an anxiety. I feel like it [too]. Like they're not doing enough - or not feel like they are enough... It's a constant cycle of comparing." (Sicuan, 2025)
🎸 I remember meeting Tom—a skilled singer-songwriter performing Ne-Yo's "So Sick" at Junel's. His dedication is seen not only in his passion for music but also in his work as an educator and his commitment to his faith and community. It's clear that setting practical and purpose-driven resolutions is key. So, how can we approach our resolutions to ensure they guide us successfully through the year? We need strategies to stay true to these commitments.
