It feels good to Belong Too Peas In A Podcast Mandy Hose and Kate Mulholland
-
- Kids & Family
Kate and Mandy talk to Kelly, the amazing person responsible for Pea favourite song ‘the Belong song’ - A Love Song To The Internet! Kelly is the Head of Brand, Communications and Culture at Belong, Australia's first carbon-neutral mobile and internet provider, and is also vision impaired.
Kelly shares her early experiences of bullying and exclusion at high school which inspired and motivated her to always strive to be “intellectually superior” to everyone else. Kelly talks about her experiences of leaving school, studying music at university and then facing overt discrimination and barriers when seeking to start her career and earn a living.
Kelly was successful in obtaining a role at Telstra, Belong’s parent company, where she was determined to exceed expectations and prove that there were no barriers to her achievement and success. She eventually played a key role in bringing accessibility and inclusion into the design of Telstra products and services.
Kelly also talks about the gorgeous guide dogs who helped transform her life by breaking down social barriers and enabling her greater independence. Follow her black Lab and very good doggo @velvetthevenerable on Instagram.
Kelly, Kate and Mandy talk about her role at Belong, their love of the Belong song and the power of the Internet to promote belonging, connection and inclusion for everyone. They also talk about the importance of ‘calling in’ people, rather than ‘calling out’ people if they make mistakes while learning to be more inclusive. Kelly also says give Peas the golden advice to make sure you “don’t be too embarrassing” and give peashoots as much agency as possible, as there’s “nothing about us without us”!
