Can We Talk About It?! Podcast

By: Safe Space Media
  • Summary

  • Honest unfiltered conversations about the nuanced life of African Australians navigating life in Australia. We invite guests to explore the triumphs and challenges of living in a Western society while trying to honour tradition and culture and somehow staying sane juggling everything! The series explores various themes ranging from childhood life, cultural identity, growing up in a multicultural household, love, sex, arranged marriages and the importance of representation to help live a resilient life. We venture into unchartered waters and discuss topics that are often uncomfortable or considered taboo within the community to help illuminate some very necessary discussions we need to have as a community. The question still remains for the community to answer: Can We Talk About It?!
