This is my friend Agum from Sudan via Fitzroy High Rise Flats. She's developed into a much loved & in demand storyteller. She is also Cultural Officer at Werribee Zoo & the bravest person I know. It's magic when young African girls see her and are inspired to find their own voice
new episode of our podcast @braidedpod is here!
this week is a quest by artist Udhara Samarasekara to find out what makes Australia such an appealing country to move to... besides the scenery!
Between students and backpackers, Australia is a country that’s chockablock full of young people from overseas - but why?
In this ep, Udhara tries to answer a daily pickle: why choose to move to Oz despite the insurmountable effort it takes to stay?

“I’m as Aussie as Vegimite, you better get that right.”
This week Zeinab Mourad – with production fr @bethanyaq – finds strength & hope in an environment that feels hostile.

One day @Kanani_Music boarded a plane in Uganda, and the next, he woke up in Australia. Since, he's pursued his rapping dreams despite the challenges of a whitewashed culture.
