Welcome to the last episode of thEMPOWER for Volume 2! In this episode we shift the focus from how South Asians can support BLM and take the opportunity to learn and discuss about the Indigenous and First Nation Peoples of Australia. We discuss how different governments of Australia have helped close the gap, however, despite their efforts, the Indigenous population of Australia still doesn’t have an equal platform.

In episode we have had the honour of interviewing and talking with Angelica Kross, a new podcaster who is a history and politics enthusiast.

We use this episode of thEMPOWER, to discuss the “boys locker room” incident which took place in India. We discuss the details of the case and the reflection of society and our culture that these developments display. We also chat about ways in which we can prevent locker room talk. To wrap it all up, we reflect on conversations with our South Asian friends, which give us hope for a way forward.
