"The truth which no one is telling us or everybody knows, nobody wants to speak." This candid panel discussion dives into the challenging yet crucial topics of race, privilege, and intersectionality, sharing deeply moving personal stories of adversity, resilience, and identity. Hear from speakers who have navigated racism, cultural shame, and marginalisation to achieve success and become agents of change.
🔑 Why This Conversation Matters
In a world often hesitant to engage with difference, this panel provides a powerful platform for sharing first-hand experiences that shaped the speakers' understanding of identity and belonging. Learn how personal challenges were transformed into sources of strength, driving a mission for greater inclusion and understanding in society.
Confronting Racism: Hear a firsthand account of racial abuse ("yelling f Chinese, go back to our country") and the internal struggle with identity, including the wish for "a pill that would enable me to shed this" skin colour.
The Weight of Heritage: Discover the feeling of cultural shame and prejudice, such as the speaker from South Africa, who feared being judged as an "apartheid person" solely based on her Afrikaans background.
The Role of Privilege: Explore how privilege—from a stable, loving family and financial support for education to the ability to take risks without fear of failure—creates pathways for success.
Building Resilience: Understand how the panellists used these negative and challenging experiences as fuel to build character and become cross-cultural engagement experts and leaders.
