On today’s episode of The J Perspective, I’m joined by the incredibly creative Tina A. Wake — a writer, producer and director.With over 55 screenplays, dozens of shorts and her feature debut Love and Triangles, Tina brings bold storytelling and vibrant energy to everything she touches.

In this impactful episode, I sit down with Mark Leach of Never Again Is Now to explore the urgent lessons of history and how they echo in today’s world. Mark shares his insights on combating antisemitism, preserving memory, and taking meaningful action in the face of rising intolerance.We discuss personal stories, historical parallels, and what it means to say “never again” — not just as a slogan, but as a commitment. This is a conversation about courage, responsibility, and the importance of standing up when it matters most.🎧 Tune in, share and let us know your thoughts. Together, let’s be part of the change

Apologies for the delay in getting this episode online!

I had intended to release it before today—election day—but a few technical issues got in the way.

That said, I’m finally sharing my podcast conversation with Warwick Stacey, NSW Senate candidate for Pauline Hanson’s One Nation.

We dive into his motivations, his thoughts on the political landscape and what he hopes to bring to the table. Whether you support One Nation or just want to better understand the candidates, this is an open and unscripted look at the person behind the campaign.

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Mark Leach, founder of Never Again Is Now, to talk about activism, accountability, and the everyday courage it takes to stand up against injustice. We dive into the journey that led Mark to become a passionate advocate, explore the real-world impact of grassroots movements and discuss what it means to protect values in modern Australia.

This episode is not just about politics—it’s about people, purpose and the power of standing for something bigger than yourself.

I sat down with someone who left a lasting impression on my life in my early ears — Natasha Michailidis. Natasha is an Australian whose life has been marked by integrity, consistency and hope.

As an immigrant to Australia, Natasha shares her story of building a life grounded in freedom, grace and quiet strength. Her journey is a beautiful example of what it means to embrace life fully and live with purpose and peace.

I hope this conversation awakens in you the permission to live consistently, graciously and hopefully. I’m so grateful to finally bring her voice to The J Perspective.

Tune in and be encouraged.

Is cultural appropriation really the crime people say it is, or is it just cultural appreciation in action? In this episode, I break down why borrowing from other cultures is natural, beautiful, and necessary—and why we should embrace it, not fear it. Let’s stop dividing and start celebrating culture together!

In this powerful episode of The J Perspective, I sit down with Eddy Boas, a Holocaust survivor, successful businessman, and advocate for resilience and truth.

Born in The Hague, Netherlands in 1940, Eddy was just three months old when the Nazis invaded. By the age of three, he was deported to Westerbork concentration camp, then later to Bergen-Belsen—a place of unimaginable horror. Against all odds, Eddy and his family survived the Holocaust together and eventually immigrated to Australia in 1954.

Today, Eddy shares his incredible story of survival, his sharp insights on antisemitism, and his thoughts on modern-day issues, including:

✅ Life in Australia after surviving the Holocaust

✅ The shocking racism in the Bankstown hospital video

✅ Why Jewish leaders need to do more to combat antisemitism

✅ Our new documentary Reflections of Courage

🎥 Help Us Bring Eddy’s Story to the World!

Our documentary, Reflections of Courage, is now live on Documentary Australia—but we need your help to bring it to the world. Every donation will help fund the release so that Eddy’s story—and the stories of other Holocaust survivors—can be seen by everyone.
