In this episode, I was in conversation with Antonio, Pamela and Joi 'Junebug', the board members of the Unity Among Nations Youth Council, a youth-led organisation working to address issues affecting their sovereignty, liberty, and way of life as Indigenous Peoples. Their purpose also includes dismantling systems of oppression, healing themselves and the land through tradition, culture and action to liberate their people from the bondage of colonialism.

I can’t thank Antonio, Pamela and Junebug enough for all that you shared. These very real and current lived experiences need to be heard, and I hope that through listening to the rawness, humanity and honesty, we can do deep reflecting and dedicating ourselves to becoming better allies, working to dismantle white supremacy and the insidiousness of systems of oppression.
