                9. E53: Lydia Tesema - Creative Community Leader, MC & Founder of Below The Surface


                  Lydia Tesema is a Melbourne born and raised, Ethiopian MC, Conversationalist, Moderator, Youth Programs Developer and Facilitator, Speaker, Community Engagement Consultant, multifaceted Creative and the founder of creative media platform 'Below The Surface'.

                  Dedicated to carving out a unique and versatile career as a global Thought Leader, Conversationalist and Entrepreneur, Lydia divides her time between community work and her love for Presenting, Hosting, Emceeing, Speaking and Panel Moderating.

                  Extremely passionate about making sense of the world and inspiring the next generation to be purpose- and change-driven, Lydia uses the power of connection, communication, conversation, education and creating (in all its forms) to leave her unique mark on the world.
                  Takeaways:

                  1. Lydia's curiosity and genuine excitement to meet and connect with people from different backgrounds drives her passion for conversation and interviewing.

                  2. A conversation about people-pleasing reveals a deeper understanding of the concept and challenges the notion of fulfilling responsibilities solely for others.

                  3. Authenticity, gratitude, and personal growth are key values that Lydia embodies in her approach to life and work. People-pleasing is a form of manipulation and prevents individuals from living in their truth.

                  4. Being Black in Australia comes with its challenges, but also offers the opportunity to connect with a diverse African diaspora community.

                  5. The African diaspora in Australia is still building economic power and resources, but progress is being made.
