Being judged by the colour of your skin, with Christina Austin
Kicking off season 4 with a BANG! This interview wasn’t planned for this season AT ALL! In fact it was booked well before the 2020 Black Lives Matter Riots and Protests started to take place. Christina Austin a Maori Woman, mother of girls, an accountant by degree, left accounting to pursue and successfully create a six figure income in the direct sales industry and like myself, is also living without their mother in their life. I was going to interview Christina about how she found her purpose by dropping her corporate job and stepping outside the mainstream and also loosing her mum helped her find her purpose. However, Christina is also a very vocal activist on race equality and diversity. She constantly uses her social media presence and influence to talk about race, white privileged, what it’s like to be someone with brown skin in a majority white skin world and more recently how just because she’s brown, doesn’t mean she knows what it’s like to be a black person. We talked about how over the last year she has lost 600+ followers due to advocating and talking about race and lack of diversity in marketing, corporations etc, to now be flooded with questions and overnight followers because she does talk about it and can relate to it as she has lived it her whole life. If you posted about black lives matter, put a black square on your social feeds, I hope you walk your talk and will take the time to listen to this and really have a think about the part you are playing in this narrative. We all play a part, it’s up to us as a collie five to change it. And a couple of posts online isn’t going to do much. Tune in, share this with your friends, Christina gives some awesome tips on what you can do if you really want to be part of the change. Find Christina @thealmosthippy on Facebook and Instagram.
