For many societies, 21 is a significant age. It’s a period of promise and potential, of leaving behind childhood to forge a way into the world. So what happens when a pandemic stalls that momentum? In this episode, we talk with Ryan Lenora Brown, the lead reporter in the Monitor’s new special global report “21 in ‘21.” She shares how the project came to be, the experiences of the 12 young adults the Monitor interviewed, and the common threads they all shared – wherever they were in the world. Hosted by Jessica Mendoza and Samantha Laine Perfas.
