Don't Shoot The Messenger

SPECIAL GUEST Shaynna Blaze, Founder of Voice of Change

⁠⁠https://shaynnablaze.com/about-shaynna/voice-of-change/⁠⁠

VOICE OF CHANGE – supported by Red Energy:

Voice of Change was founded to amplify the voices of victim-survivors of family violence, to champion meaningful education about – and action against – family violence, and to bring about prevention and change.

We chat with Shaynna about her role within the Voice of Change campaign, why she is so passionate about this issue, the importance of discussing domestic violence issues and to raise awareness particularly as we head towards Christmas.

And Shaynna also speaks to us about her role as Executive Producer of the film The Fort, made with her two kids and this spearheaded her co-founding the not-for-profit charity ‘Voice of Change Australia’ using the arts to create meaningful conversations from using survivor and victim’s stories to change the cultural attitudes that underpin family violence.

• Red Energy is proud to support Voice of Change (https://www.voiceofchangeau.org/)

• Voice of Change is a national non-profit organisation dedicated to ending domestic and family violence using arts to break down the barriers to empower storytelling, community education and collective action.

• Founded by Shaynna Blaze and backed by a team of changemakers, Voice of Change was born from a belief that stories can change attitudes, behaviours, and cultures — to drive national impact.
