(Un)marginalised

In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Renay Barker-Mulholland. We talked about poetry, parenting, how intersectionality relates to quilts, what does being an artist mean, and gatekeeping. It was an honour to be the first person to read Renay one of her very own poems, and hear her reaction. We also chatted about the juxtaposition between femininity and roughness, politics, collaborations with our kids, and more.

In this episode, I had an enriching conversation with Sonja Plitt, whose eloquent honesty impressed me. It was particularly powerful to hear their journey with gender, and with national shame. 

We talk about national perpetrators and victims, intergenerational trauma, gender, labels, how language impacts and shapes reality, cultural shame, mental health and much more.

We talk about immigrating to Australia, slang, accent, making friends, and so much more. We had so many laughs, and I’m sure you’ll find it interesting.

“I find that my mental health is cranky…the accessibility isn’t done gratefully…places are not happy to invite the disabeld…there’s a ramp, so what more do they want?…I still feel unwanted…I guess you don’t want my money, and I spend a lot.” – Julie G. on the (Un)marginalised podcast.
