Tasneem Chopra OAM is Cross-cultural Consultant, Board Director and popular expert commentator at the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. Tasneem is the inaugural 2021 Ambassador for Women of Colour, Australia. In 2020, Tasneem was awarded an OAM (Order of Australia Medal) for her efforts in championing diversity and has also been named an Anti-Racism Champion by the Australian Human Rights Commission. In this conversation we talk about her parents, her upbringing, her time in Darwin, Bendigo and her love for Melbourne. We also pack in what it feels like to be different and to value that difference; how people in power need to stop hash tagging and start doing the work; how cultural diversity represented needs to be business as usual; our Nation's response to the Afghanistan crisis and much more. Please enjoy this heartwarming conversation, with the powerhouse, Tasneem Chopra.
