In episode eight of The Modern Women, Natalie Drenovac sits down (naked) with Jessa O'Brien, aka - The Nude Blogger.

In a society where Instagram, Photoshop and social pressure can instil feelings of shame on so many and their bodies - I sat down with Jessa to discover what is it about being a nudist for her that invokes feelings of liberation, confidence and how can embracing nudity have us more connected to opening up our sense of self-awareness, confidence and sexuality.

A few months ago as Charmaine Bingwa started popping up all over my social feeds I sought to find out who this woman was as I kept reading time and time again - the first openly gay, woman of colour wins Heath Ledger Scholarship. 

I loved this conversation with Charmaine as we challenged stereotypes, discussed her deep passion for showcasing stories yet untold and characters not yet explored and how her unique experiences growing up as a daughter of Zimbabwean immigrants in Perth have shaped her into a strong, driven and inquisitive woman who is set on being the change in the film industry we wish to see
