In this episode, I sit with Activist and South Australian Pride Awards Winner, Charlotte Coulthard-Dare (she/her).

We discuss Charlotte's nomination (which after recording became a win!) for First Nations Person of the Year in the South Australian Pride Awards 2025, sharing her culture and heritage through work that Charlotte does, being the role model younger generations need, the process of Charlotte coming out as transgender on a documentary on NITV, being representation when you didn't have it growing up and ALL THE gratitude for Black trans women without whom so much wouldn't exist!
