Sweetness in the Everyday - Kian Cham

The Grounded Futures hosts are in conversation with community organizer Kian Cham. Youth hosts Liam Joy and Joey ask Kian about finding ways to thrive as a trans youth and adult under capitalism. Kian talks about turning to street culture and martial arts as a teen, the role of mentorship in his journey, and what it means to be an anticapitalist working towards a decolonial future. He also shares how he has been finding the sweetness in the everyday during the COVID-19 pandemic, and why this time of huge collective uprising gives him hope.
