  • Summary

  • If you can see it, you can be it. But what happens when you look around and nobody looks like you? Seen is an interview podcast that talks to inspirational Australians who have come from under-represented backgrounds and communities, and made astonishing impacts on our culture. Host Yumi Stynes gets deep and meaningful with trailblazers like drag royalty Kween Kong, writer Yassmin Abdel-Magied, AFL Women’s star player Darcy Vescio, disability activist Hannah Diviney, and domestic violence advocate Tarang Chawla, each speaking about the transformative moments they felt seen.
