    Asian Hate Crimes / Growing up Asian in Australia with Stacie and Stell.

    Hi all. A little taster episode which touches on the increase in hate crimes against Asian people following COVID-19. As well as this, Stell and Stacie share their experiences being Asian in Australia. I hope you all enjoy (and forgive the extra Suburbia sounds of dogs barking and motorbikes during my chat with Stell). Happy listening!

    When are we going to stop blaming the victim?

    TW: This episode discusses sexual assault, if this episode brings up anything for you, you can call 1800 RESPECT on 1800 737 732. In this episode I explore the recent alleged rape allegations by Brittney Higgins and the continued victim blaming of women.

    "Sorry means you don't do it again." Australia's continued stolen generation.

    In today's episode I explore the continued removal of First Nation's children from their families and their culture, 13 years after Kevin Rudd issued a national apology to the victims of the stolen generation.  I highly recommend you all watch the documentary 'After the Apology', which explores this topic in incredible depth and features first hand testimony from First Nation's people. It was published in 2017 and was directed by Larissa Behrendt. You can rent it off vimeo here.

    Should we watch Sia's new film 'Music?' A conversation around representation.

    A can of worms debate style episode about representation in the entertainment industry, with a specific focus on Sia's new film, which depicts a non-verbal, autistic teenage girl. Will be posting polls on my instagram story (@mindandmatter.podcast) on Sunday to see where you guys sit on the issue.

    When does my mental illness stop and when do I start?

    On this episode I get up close and personal about the nitty gritty of living with anxiety and depression. I ask the question (without giving you any kind of concrete answer) how do we destinguish between what parts of our experience are inherently us and our personalities, and what parts are our mental illness.
