Epiosde 6: What U Say? (with Shari Sebbens)

In this episode Nakkiah and Miranda talk to acclaimed stage and
screen actor Shari Sebbens about code switching, why Taika Waititi
is the mentor aspiring filmmakers of colour need, and why accents
are such strong signifiers of race. They each have funny and
confronting personal stories regarding assumptions made about race
and cultural identity on the basis of accent. They’ll discuss what
accents tell us about current societal hierarchies in Australia. Is
the ability to change one’s accent a source of freedom? And what do
you risk losing if you can and do sink into another voice?
