Presenter/Co-producer: Tammy

This episode features proud Fitzroy resident and Greek Bicultural Liaison Officer for the City of Yarra, Tammy Iliou. She reflects on her experience helping Greek speaking residents navigate through a difficult time with the vaccination program and COVID-19, and forming close bonds that she hopes to continue to strengthen. Tammy welcomes any Greek speaking residents to contact her.

* Whilst recording this episode in the studio Tammy received a message to say she had been included in this year’s Victorian Government Honour Roll Multicultural List in recognition of her years of community work!

The Yarra Libraries Overdue podcast is produced by and for culturally and linguistically diverse communities in the City of Yarra in multiple languages.

The Covid-19 pandemic has kickstarted many overdue conversations. This podcast makes space for community members to share their personal insights and experiences. The pandemic has shown us that a one size fits all approach doesn’t work, and exposed a lack of culturally appropriate government support for these communities.

The Yarra Libraries Overdue podcast calls for more support to help determine and co-create community based solutions to ongoing challenges. This podcast is co-produced by community members from different Yarra projects and organisations working with Yarra Libraries to raise awareness around covid messaging and community-based responses.

Overdue is facilitated and produced by Yarra Libraries, and supported by the Victorian Government through the Priority Response to Multicultural Communities during Coronavirus (PRMC) program.
