Presenter:Cruzanne Macalligan
It’s estimated that around 117 billion people have lived on Earth. That’s 117 billion different ways to be human.
100 Billion Ways, hosted by Cruzanne Macalligan, is a weekly conversation exploring what it really means to live those differences - and what we can learn from them.
The programme brings together thoughtful conversations, personal stories and music, as guests share their lived experiences of identity, culture, disability, faith, neurodiversity, parenting, advocating and belonging. Moving beyond labels and assumptions, the show focuses on how people navigate the world through their own perspectives and experiences. Listeners are invited to reconsider what difference really means, and discover that even in our differences, there is often far more that connects us.
Sundays, 3-4pm on RTHK Radio 3.
This week, Cruzanne Macalligan speaks with Shalini Mahtani MBE - founder of the Zubin Foundation and one of Hong Kong's leading voices on inclusion, equality and social justice.
Born and raised in Hong Kong, Shalini reflects on growing up as a Hong Kong Indian woman, navigating questions of identity, race, gender and belonging, and how the devastating loss of her young son, Zubin, inspired a life's work dedicated to reducing suffering and creating opportunities for Hong Kong's ethnically diverse communities.
In her conversation with Cruzanne, Shalini shares powerful insights on privilege, education, forced marriage, mental health, raising compassionate children, and why building a more inclusive society begins with seeing one another and choosing to act.
