Some Of My Favourite People

Jimmy Kyle is a singer-songwriter, fronting the Australian band Chasing Ghosts. Kyle is a Thungutti descendent from the mid-north coast of New South Wales. He has worked alongside Indigenous communities in various roles for well over a decade.

We got into talking about music, the hardcore scene, activism, Australia's history of colonialism, the difference between activism and education, maturing in the social justice space and a whole lot more. It was an absolute pleasure and I hope you guys enjoy the conversation. Thank you Jimmy!

Ada is a Youtuber, social commentator and content creator based in the U.K focused on race and racism. She started the project not seeing a more diverse range of thought presented when it comes to talking about social and political issues, so a different voice was created.

We had a cool conversation about Ada's views and opinions. We got into acknowledging looking at the balance between personal responsibility and social causatives of disparate outcomes, going against the grain of popular ideas, and giving people hope and a reason to be optimistic.

Marcus Dibb is a trans educator, and Youtuber, based in Denmark.

I had a really fun, illuminating and interesting conversation with Marcus. We talked about his journey with gender dysphoria and transition and his politics. We have different views and values on some things, agreed on others and we laughed a lot, it was cool to talk!

Thank you Marcus!
