    Threads of Identity: Fashioning Culture and Sovereignty

    As we approach Christmas, we’re taking time to reflect on the incredible stories shared on the Black Magic Woman Podcast this year. This week, I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with my childhood sis, Samala Thakialee Cronin, the powerhouse behind MumRed the Label. Samala is more than a designer; she’s a storyteller, weaving culture, identity, and resilience into every piece she creates. From using kangaroo sinew and weaving techniques passed down through generations to showcasing her work on international runways, she’s breaking barriers and ensuring our people are not just seen but celebrated. We talked about her recent achievements, like creating stunning bespoke pieces for Thelma Plum and representing our culture at major events like New York Fashion Week. Samala also shared her powerful reflections on kinship, black matriarchy, and the strength of our mob. 💬 “How can they hear us if they can’t see us?” This yarn is close to my heart, and I know you’ll feel the same. Samala’s passion and determination are inspiring, and I couldn’t be prouder of the deadly work she’s doing.

    Beats, Culture, and Change: A Yarn with Dem Mob

    In this episode of the Black Magic Woman Podcast, I sit down with the talented group Dem Mob, a rising Indigenous hip-hop band making waves in the Australian music scene. Dem Mob, formed in 2019, began as a school project aimed at re-engaging Indigenous youth through music and culture. Today, they've transformed into a powerhouse collective, bringing Aboriginal language and culture to the forefront of their music, blending English and Pitjantjatjara languages to reach diverse audiences. In our yarn, we discuss the group’s origins, their mission to inspire Indigenous youth, and the importance of integrating culture with education. They share how music provided them an escape and a path to empowerment, overcoming the challenges of mainstream education systems that often leave Indigenous students feeling disconnected. Now, with award-winning tracks and performances at major events like SXSW Sydney, Dem Mob continues to inspire and give back to their communities. Tune in to hear about their journey, their dedication to culture, and their vision for the future. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn more about Dem Mob’s powerful music and message.  Links & Resources: DEM MOB Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dem_mob/?hl=en DEM MOB Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4aciJpcM8WNsBXP4dQv9yM?si=QIwlH1MwTBmdLSYgpCk3Ng Website: www.blackmagicwoman.com.au Follow us on Instagram - @blackmagicwomanpodcast The Black Magic Woman Podcast is hosted by Mundanara Bayles and is an uplifting conversational style program featuring mainly Aboriginal guests and explores issues of importance to Aboriginal people and communities.  Mundanara is guided by Aboriginal Terms of Reference and focusses more on who people are rather than on what they do.

    In part 2 of my yarn with Nooky, we dive into the making of his album with 3%, sharing how collaborations with artists like Dallas and Angus enriched the project’s focus on elevating cultural history and awareness. The iconic album cover, featuring AFL player Uncle Nicky Winmar, stands as a powerful testament against racism, symbolising resilience and strength. Beyond his music, Nooky opens up about personal challenges, including his journey through grief and addiction, and the crucial role of community in his recovery. His dedication to cultural representation shines through in initiatives like We Are Warriors and an inspiring film trilogy about the black cockatoo, all of which emphasise youth mentorship and cultural storytelling. Nooky’s personal anecdotes, including friendships with artists like Kid Laroi, highlight the significance of shared cultural ties and community-driven spaces for Indigenous voices.
