WEBVTT - A Message From Mia

0:00:10.405 --> 0:00:15.005
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to a Mother Mea podcast. Mama Maya acknowledges

0:00:15.045 --> 0:00:17.685
<v Speaker 1>the traditional owners of land and waters that this podcast

0:00:17.765 --> 0:00:22.285
<v Speaker 1>is recorded on Hello, It's Meya Yesterday, we watch the

0:00:22.285 --> 0:00:25.085
<v Speaker 1>world change in a way that has left many people

0:00:25.125 --> 0:00:29.165
<v Speaker 1>feeling shocked and confused, especially women. Many of us are

0:00:29.165 --> 0:00:32.565
<v Speaker 1>fearful of what's to come across an ocean. A new

0:00:32.605 --> 0:00:35.525
<v Speaker 1>president was elected, but the waves of this decision have

0:00:35.645 --> 0:00:39.365
<v Speaker 1>reached us right here in Australia. When America takes a step,

0:00:39.565 --> 0:00:42.605
<v Speaker 1>the world feels its impact, and for many of us,

0:00:42.925 --> 0:00:47.645
<v Speaker 1>especially women, it feels like an unsettling backward step at

0:00:47.685 --> 0:00:50.325
<v Speaker 1>an uncertain time. More than ever, we need to ensure

0:00:50.325 --> 0:00:56.685
<v Speaker 1>that women's experiences and perspectives don't just fade into the background. Today,

0:00:57.045 --> 0:01:00.325
<v Speaker 1>the role of independent media has never been more vital,

0:01:01.005 --> 0:01:03.285
<v Speaker 1>and now is the time to ensure that our stories

0:01:03.325 --> 0:01:07.085
<v Speaker 1>are told, our voices are not just heard, but amplified,

0:01:07.765 --> 0:01:09.965
<v Speaker 1>and we need to make sure that women's issues don't

0:01:10.005 --> 0:01:15.045
<v Speaker 1>disappear from the conversation and nor to women's opinions or voices.

0:01:15.725 --> 0:01:18.565
