In January 2022, Hasani Arnold began sharing his experiences on social media as one of just a few hundred American students in China during the COVID pandemic. Since then, he has found an audience as a cross-cultural content creator, showing both American and Chinese audiences what they might not know about each other. Hasani’s educational experiences opened the door for him to compare and comprehend societal, cultural, and linguistic differences between the two countries.

Hasani Arnold joins the National Committee in an interview recorded on February 6, 2025 to share his story as a Black student in China and content creator in the Chinese-language social media space.
