Episode 27 of the Black magic Woman Podcast is dropping today as I yarn with Uncle Jack Charles who is an Indigenous elder and activist who was born at the Cummeragunja Mission on the Murray River in Victoria in 1943. At 12 months old Uncle Jack was taken from his mother and raised in a Salvation Army boys’ home where he was taught nothing of his Indigenous heritage. Being part of the stolen generation affected uncle Jack deeply and he was just 17 years old when he was jailed for the first time, for petty crime to support his habit which would see him in and out of prison throughout the subsequent decades. Uncle Jack found an escape and became involved in theatre in the 1970’s, beginning his career in acting at age 19.   Support this show <a target="_blank" rel="payment" href="http://supporter.acast.com/black-magic-woman">http://supporter.acast.com/black-magic-woman</a>. <hr> Hosted on Acast.

Uncle Jack Charles - Actor

Hosted by Mundanara Bayles who was born and raised in Redfern (Sydney) Australia and currently lives in Queensland. The Black Magic Woman Podcast is an uplifting conversational style program featuring mainly First Nations people from Australia and around the world sharing their stories about their journey to highlight the diversity amongst First Nations peoples and the resilience of her people. She hopes these stories inspire her listeners and also create a better understanding of what First Nations Peoples culture and history.
 
Mundanara is guided by Aboriginal Terms of Reference and focusses more on who people are rather than on what they do. Mundanara makes people feel relaxed and comfortable as if they were sitting around the kitchen table just having a yarn. It’s the way First Nations people have been building relationships and getting to know each other for tens of thousands of years. She draws from a long family history in the media industry and has grown up in culturally strong, politically active family who have been at the forefront of the Aboriginal Rights movement since the 1960’s.
 
Mundanara sees this platform as an opportunity to share her cultural knowledge and insights to her audience in a non confrontational way that brings people along with her to create change for a better Australia. To connect more with Mundanara check out the work she does with her elders at www.theblackcard.com.au.
 
If you'd like to support the show by making a financial contribution, visit https://www.theblackcard.com.au./ Any help is appreciated and goes a long way. I encourage to get behind any First Nations media, contribute, share and be apart of positive change that Australia needs.
