Bittersweet Podcast

In this weeks episode we're talking all things friendships. Our friendships can shape us for better or the worse. Why do we grow out of friendships, when is it time to move on and what does setting healthy boundaries look like? We'll be answering all these questions and more. As always we will be keeping things real relevant and relatable!

For this weeks episode we are joined by @saronnn.n and @abigailbelachew two healthcare workers who were trapped in the Flemington high-rise towers, during the “hard lockdown” enforced by the Victorian state government earlier this week.

From the words of residents themselves we uncover the disaster that was this targeted lockdown. This was an example of racism in Australia. Class and race intersected in this case as ethnic minorities were systematically discriminated against by the state government. Please tune in, it is crucial that we share this information and highlight the injustices experienced by the residents.

TRIGGER WARNING: mentions of rape and sexual violence

This week we’re discussing rape culture. What it is, what it looks like and the subtle ways it presents itself in modern society. In the midsts of the BLM movement we must recognise the experiences of historically marginalised groups and focus on the inclusion of ALL black people. This conversation is about highlighting the insidious nature of rape culture, how it effects black women and the conversations we should be having in order to fill the script!
As always keeping it real, relevant and relatable!

BLACK LIVES MATTER

WE ARE TIRED!

This week is all about the BLM movement and what's been happening around the world right now. We discuss systemic racism, white privilege and how that plays out in our society. We hope we can, at least the very least, provide a platform for these conversations to be held and heard. Ignorance is determinative, we need to address the racists culture that prevails in Australian society and around the world and make some tangible changes! 

As always keeping it real relevant and relatable!
