We talk to Marissa about her relationship with herself and the adversity she has faced during her life leading up to this point.

Marissa is a proud Ngarrindjeri woman, who was raised on Wadawurrung Country in Victoria, and spent time playing Australian rules football before switching to boxing.

At the 2023 Australian Elite Boxing Championships in August she became an Australian champion for the third time and was the first woman to win the Arthur Tunstall Trophy, which is given to the best boxer at the tournament.

Marissa will be boxing in the preliminaries at the Olympics on August 1st, 12:15am AEST

Queer Transmission talks about queer relationships through lived experiences with real people. We take the conversations you have with your loved ones about relationships, sexuality, dating and sex & navigate them through storytelling.

We acknowledge the Jagera and Turrbal people as the Traditional Custodians of Meanjin, the lands on which we are recording and learn on. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging.
