Customer Reviews
The Indigenous Aunties I Always Wanted
Listening to Melissa and Souta talk together is a beautiful genuine window into what modern indigenous women are going through and it warms me to hear their wisdom and share in their struggles and laughter. I have been listening for the last couple of years and it is the longest i have ever listened to a podcast— I have listened to every episode and I look forward to each new conversation with what I feel are my online Aunties. Growing up with native blood but not being in touch with my culture, this podcast has meant a lot to me.
Thank you, Indigenous Vision!!
Things I bet you wish you knew…
Highly recommend! Great podcast with a refreshing vision. I am grateful to these two women for letting us listen to their honest, jarring, sometimes painful, funny, observations. I think you’ll be both surprised and moved.
Illuminating and Warm
Thank you so much for sharing your lives with us 💗 I am learning so much from this show.
