Introducing Nakkiah and Miranda

Nakkiah Lui and Miranda Tapsell are set to rock traditional
perceptions of Indigenous Australia and challenge rigid mindsets of
what women of colour can and cannot do.
In our eight episode first season, we'll talk honestly about
relationships, weight, dick pics and being a boss in male-dominated
industries, and unpack the pervasive influence of African American
popular culture and politics on young black people in Australia.
We’ll discuss building a First Nations support system on social
media, and examine why representation really, truly, definitely
matters.

Our guests will include author Roxane Gay, Orange Is The New
Black’s Yael Stone, rapper and TV writer Adam Briggs, Canadian Vice
presenter and activist Sarain Carson Fox, and rising Australian
actors Akar Das (Lion) and Blessing Mokgohloa (Spartacus), among
others.
