Episode 7: It May Take A Woman To Lead The Fight (with Sarain Fox)

Nakkiah and Miranda talk about race even when they’re not talking
about race. It permeates their daily experience.

Across the first season of Pretty For An Aboriginal, Nakkiah and
Miranda have talked a lot about how important African American
culture is to young Aboriginal people. Across TV, music, film and
social media, it validates and makes visible much of their
experience — the experience of being part of a community that
continually battles subtle (and overt) societal and institutional
racism. 

But the First Nations’ network is also a strong, important
community that in North America especially is carving out new
spaces for protest and political change. And much of it is being
lead by young, social media-savvy warriors. 

In this episode Nakkiah and Miranda talk to Anishinaabe TV host,
dancer and advocate Sarain Fox about the lessons learnt from the
past 18 months of social and live activism, and the new wave of
young Aboriginal women who are leading protest movements in
Australia and North America.
