Glacier Kwong is a political and digital rights activist born and raised in Hong Kong. She is the founder of the NGO Keyboard Frontline and is a Research Fellow at Hong Kong Democracy Council in the US. In self-exile in Germany, she is pursuing her PhD in Law at the University of Hamburg, with her research focusing on data protection and surveillance in Hong Kong and China. She addresses the question of “What Could Possibly Go Right?” with thoughts including:“We don't persist because we see hope. We only see hope when we persist.” Self-care is part of the revolution. “Activism, at its core, is fighting for the better livelihood of people,” so taking care of your well-being is aligned with these goals.We should honor the freedom and the privileges we have; use them well and not take them for granted.We should not suppress our feelings of sadness during our activism. Being upfront with these emotions shows our humanity and gives validation to others feeling the same way. “We have one million reasons to give up. But we only need one to continue the fight; that is, we know that what we're doing is right.”Connect with Glacier KwongTwitter // InstagramFollow WCPGRFacebook // Twitter // InstagramJoin our Patreon Community to receive bonus conversations with guests and "backstage" conversations between Vicki and other podcast hosts.Learn more: https://bit.ly/wcpgr-resSupport the showComplete Show Notes
