2 Brownish Girls 2 Brownish Girls

We're finally here. Cribbs and Talica reflect on the last four years since the creation of their podcast and thank their listeners for their support and what lies ahead for your 2 favourite Brownish girls.

Special shout out to the listeners who sent voice messages in - Adele Luamanuvae, Eden, Jane T, Jasmine Greenwood, Katea (KT) FYR and Mihaka.

The Veiqia Project is a creative research project inspired by the practice of Fijian female tattooing of veiqia.

In 2015 a group of Fijian women based in New Zealand and Australia were brought together to create new works for an exhibition inspired by veiqia (Fijian female tattoo), a practice
that was stopped from around the mid-19th century and conducted in secrecy up to the early 20th century.  

The project involved an online research forum and time spent with Fijian collections in Fiji and New Zealand museums. The exhibition took place at ST PAUL St Gallery in March 2016 for the Auckland Arts Festival and coincided with the PAA XII International Symposium.

Four years after their creation - on the 27th April 2019, The Veiqia Project held an event on Dhawaral country at Campbelltown Arts Centre called 'Solevu' - a full day of delicious lovo-making (Fijian earth oven), workshops and talanoa to celebrate the last 18 months of cross-generational Era Yalovata Na Marama program.

And due to this event, which Cribbs came across and invited Talica....The 2 Brownish Girls podcast was born. Join Cribbs & Talica and members of The Veiqia Project, Donita, Luisa and Margaret for great interview.

It’s OCTOBERS VERY OWN! Here for our 3rd last episode of the series and we’re recording live from Whispers in the Hive! You have 1 Brownish Girl and 1 Brownish Boy here this month, Talica is taking some much needed R&R and will return for our November episode. This month we are joined by a special friend of mine, and someone I hold very close to my heart!

He is the founder of Whispers in the Hive, which is a haven for spiritual explorers and people like myself to experiment in the realm of mediumship. He is a beacon of insight into the other world, a conduit to the spirit realm and for the next x amount of minutes, he’ll be here chatting with me today, please give a warm welcome to the wonderful compassionate soul, Jayson Fraser!

Cribbs and Talica interview long time friend of the podcast - Pasepa, an Environmental Science major from Macquarie University, who has worked previously in Ecological Restoration. But she is not just a Scientist, she is a multi-faceted Baddie who has made her debut as a 007 in this year’s West Ball 4, hosted by Father Xander Silky and previous 2 Brownish Girls guest, Jamaica Moana, modeled in campaigns such as Light Speech in Issue 5 for Astrophe Magazine and alongside with another previous 2 Brownish Girls guest, Isaac Nasedra organized the 2021 Fiji COVID Relief Mask drive for Fiji. The girls discuss her origin story, Science and Creative endeavours and the differences between Fijians in the Mother Country and Fijians in the diaspora.

Cribbs & Talica revisit their iconic/traumatizing episode from Season 1 of the 2 Brownish Girl, Episode 7 - The Sole Struggle: "Dating" (or not dating), Brown Men, Insecurities or Q&A with a 2023 update and their perspectives on their July 2019 thoughts and what has changed since then. Join them for a cute little update, will Cribbs ever get over the hold Brown men have on her and will Talica actually ever tell a man how she feels or has she just accepted her forever alone status due to the consequences of her lack of actions? Find out in the next 52 minutes!

Your favourite delusional Westies bring you a short and sweet update on how things have been for them in 2023 so far. From what they've been up to, the gigs they've attended and new changes in their life and the energy they want for the rest of the year. From Cribbs' new life update and the seasonal changes for her to Talica's never-ending rants on something that she has no control over.
