☕'s on Me, David Quan 权丁文 Cambridge Union Election Special Series: Chris Lorde - Presidential Candidate

Episode 103 of #CoffeesOnMeDavidQuan: Chris Lorde is a second-year undergraduate reading HSPS (Human, Social, and Political Sciences) at Christ's College, University of Cambridge. A born Londoner and Windrush generation descendant, Chris grew up in a few places — from London to Reading, to Texas and Toronto. His diverse upbringing has given him a million and a half tales to tell, but it's also inspired a passion for social justice and challenging the status quo. He's currently the Secretary of the Cambridge Union and is running for President for the second time, having previously served as Equalities Officer before his first presidential campaign. He's also served as LGBTQ+ Officer for the Cambridge ACS, has spent multiple terms on the committee of the Cambridge University Labour Club, and regularly gets involved with societies like the ADC and Cam FM.

Chris's passion for debating, dialogue, and social justice is a long-standing one. Before arriving in Cambridge, he was the National Director of Debate for the Junior State of America (JSA), a civic-engagement organisation that formerly held the title of the largest student-led organisation in the US. While involved, Christopher led JSA's Racial Justice Task Force, which in 2020 was nominated for an American Civic Collaboration Award, receiving an honourable mention alongside projects led by names Andrew Yang and Washington DC Mayor Muriel Bowser. He was also an active competitor on the local, state, and national speech & debate circuit, qualifying four years in a row to the National Speech and Debate Tournament and the National Individual Events Tournament of Champions. By the end of his time in high school, Chris was ranked #1 in Texas and top 10 in the US for competitive points earned in Informative Speaking.

Those passions for debate and for justice still hold — he's given multiple paper speeches at the Union, too many speeches to count at CULC's Pints & Policy, and continues to remain involved politically at home (wherever that may be) and at Cambridge.

TL;DR: To process my emotions after a grueling campaign for President of The Cambridge Union, I reflected upon the influences of my late Grandfather and wrote him a letter: www.coffeesonmedavidquan.com. Drawing inspiration from him, I hope to learn more from others through genuine discussions – giving listeners heartfelt conversations filled with authentic insights, and giving guests legacy-worthy interviews to treasure. After completing over 100 interviews and reaching more than 20,000 listeners in Season 1, I now return with deep gratitude and renewed enthusiasm!
