Ep.10 - Angelina Hurley How'd You Deal With A Dickhead?

10/31/18 • 43 min

It's finally here! In part one of 3 instalments we're ready to ask... Hey Aunty! How’d you deal with a dickhead? To kick things off, Shantel catches up with the brilliant Angelina Hurley. Angelina is a proud Aboriginal woman, her heritage is from Jagera, Gooreng Gooreng, Mununjali, Birriah & Kamilaroi peoples. She won’t be silenced, or told that the things that hurt us don’t exist. We know that these ‘harmless dickheads’ make a beeline for anyone who is different, so we have to deal with more than our fair share. Finding a way to navigate through their behaviour, the risk of things turning nasty and the minute scrutiny of our reactions can be exhausting. So what do you do? If you’ve ever been told you’re being too sensitive or simply left stunned and biting your tongue while everyone else laughs... Angelina’s honest stories, the hilarious and the hurtful, will be a big dose of refreshment. Enjoy!

Ep.9 Léuli Eshraghi Why Are We Like This?

We continue with part 3 of 'Hey Aunty! Why are we like this?' with the wonderful Léuli Eshrāghi (ia, ū pronouns). Léuli is an artist, curator, writer from the Sāmoan archipelago, Pārs plateau, Guangdong delta, and other ancestries. Ia makes performances, installations, writing and curatorial projects centred on embodied knowledges, ceremonial-political practices, language renewal and Indigenous futures throughout the Great Ocean and further afield through expanded kinships. And yet Léuli faces challenges and criticisms that many of us fear in stepping forward within community. Shantel and Léuli share their mutual fear of being called out as an imposter by their own. If you’ve ever feared being told you aren’t black/fem/indigenous, hell anything enough... We hope you’ll find this powerful chat as freeing and affirming as we did

Ep.11 - Pattigrace Lupari How'd You Deal With A Dickhead?

Ready for our second instalment of Hey Aunty! How’d you deal with a dick head? This week we speak with the wonderful Pattigrace Lupari. Pattigrace is a humble woman who’s staunchly proud of her Papua New Guinean heritage. She has worked in the Tech, Film and TV space for the last 10 years. As an outspoken WOC working in a predominantly male (white) industry, she has navigated through the tech space, working with IBM and Google. From leading development teams to launching new product into the market, she has kept true to her culture and heritage by wearing her afro out and upholding her feminist view points. Pattigrace's passion is in storytelling and currently working on her own film projects about PNG and the PNG women who are making waves locally and globally. Pattigrace is an incredibly vibrant and self possessed woman who holds her identity with courage and integrity. So it was wonderful to hear her share how an early run in with a dickhead forced her to choose between shrinking and growing. Falling back on early lessons from her dad and resolving never to shrink in the face of a challenge.
