Is there some advice, any tips that you 416 00:21:42,431 --> 00:21:46,191 Speaker 1: would give them, especially knowing that they're going to be 417 00:21:46,991 --> 00:21:50,711 Speaker 1: in a space where they may be the only person 418 00:21:50,791 --> 00:21:52,351 Speaker 1: or person of color even right. 419 00:21:53,071 --> 00:21:57,551 Speaker 3: You have to be really passionate for telling stories, for 420 00:21:58,151 --> 00:22:01,431 Speaker 3: allowing other people to tell their stories. When you're starting 421 00:22:01,431 --> 00:22:04,631 Speaker 3: out in journalism. There is no ego in journalism because 422 00:22:04,671 --> 00:22:10,911 Speaker 3: you're telling other people's stories. You are, you are the vehicle. Yeah, 423 00:22:11,351 --> 00:22:15,111 Speaker 3: And so when I was starting out, I was told 424 00:22:15,111 --> 00:22:17,991 Speaker 3: it's not about you, it's not about you. And even 425 00:22:18,031 --> 00:22:21,111 Speaker 3: when I was reading the news, you know, I was told, 426 00:22:21,151 --> 00:22:23,151 Speaker 3: you're one of many, like and I think it was 427 00:22:23,751 --> 00:22:28,111 Speaker 3: to not create a monster, you know, like like someone 428 00:22:28,151 --> 00:22:32,111 Speaker 3: with a big ego who thought that the successive things was. 429 00:22:32,111 --> 00:22:32,911 Speaker 4: All down to them. 430 00:22:33,111 --> 00:22:37,111 Speaker 3: You're one of a team, So there's an element of 431 00:22:37,111 --> 00:22:41,631 Speaker 3: that that that brings true. But also I love to 432 00:22:41,671 --> 00:22:44,551 Speaker 3: see people's personalities come through in their stories, and I 433 00:22:44,591 --> 00:22:48,031 Speaker 3: love to see their lens applied to the stories because 434 00:22:48,071 --> 00:22:50,591 Speaker 3: for so long stories have been told by a type 435 00:22:50,591 --> 00:22:54,991 Speaker 3: of person and they're not us, you know, they're so 436 00:22:55,151 --> 00:22:58,431 Speaker 3: far from who we are, and we still see it 437 00:22:58,431 --> 00:23:02,071 Speaker 3: reflected in the news that's covered now. You know, when 438 00:23:02,951 --> 00:23:07,151 Speaker 3: when you incidents of crime happen, it's seen through a 439 00:23:07,151 --> 00:23:09,791 Speaker 3: certain lens, or when we're talking about children in custody, 440 00:23:09,831 --> 00:23:12,471 Speaker 3: it's seen through a certain lens. When we see people 441 00:23:12,471 --> 00:23:15,791 Speaker 3: who are tasered. You know, why would we care about 442 00:23:16,231 --> 00:23:18,991 Speaker 3: someone who's tasted and then not somebody else who's tasted, 443 00:23:19,111 --> 00:23:23,791 Speaker 3: you know, So the lenses are applied, whether we like 444 00:23:23,871 --> 00:23:27,751 Speaker 3: it or not. So we should be black fellows as journo's. 445 00:23:27,951 --> 00:23:30,111 Speaker 3: We need to start telling the stories. To be in 446 00:23:30,151 --> 00:23:32,231 Speaker 3: there and tell the stories and apply our lens to 447 00:23:32,271 --> 00:23:32,751 Speaker 3: the story. 448 00:23:32,871 --> 00:23:36,711 Speaker 1: That's so important for our mom to take up these spaces. Yes, 449 00:23:37,231 --> 00:23:40,671 Speaker 1: as journalists as well to be able to communicate from 450 00:23:41,031 --> 00:23:44,351 Speaker 1: a black lens or from our perspective, especially when it's 451 00:23:44,391 --> 00:23:46,231 Speaker 1: part of our lived experience. 452 00:23:45,831 --> 00:23:53,631 Speaker 3: Totally, because lived experience trumps everything else, everything else lived experience. 453 00:23:53,671 --> 00:23:57,151 Speaker 3: I mean, Canberra Parliament House would be a different place 454 00:23:57,191 --> 00:24:01,831 Speaker 3: if everybody was there based on their lived experience and 455 00:24:01,951 --> 00:24:03,911 Speaker 3: who have that lived experience to be able to help 456 00:24:03,951 --> 00:24:07,151 Speaker 3: the rest of the country in creating the policy that 457 00:24:07,191 --> 00:24:09,071 Speaker 3: could that can help the rest of the country. 458 00:24:09,711 --> 00:24:12,471 Speaker 4: It would lived experience. It trumps everything else. I can't. 459 00:24:12,631 --> 00:24:14,151 Speaker 4: I can't say it any any other way. 460 00:24:14,351 --> 00:24:17,431 Speaker 3: So when you apply your lived experience to everything, then 461 00:24:17,471 --> 00:24:18,511 Speaker 3: it's always. 462 00:24:18,191 --> 00:24:20,911 Speaker 4: Going to be from a very authentic place of course. 463 00:24:20,991 --> 00:24:22,791 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's going to say you're going to get the 464 00:24:22,831 --> 00:24:24,951 Speaker 1: best of the best ye and apply that. 465 00:24:25,271 --> 00:24:27,511 Speaker 3: Yeah, because that's what people are looking for. That's what 466 00:24:27,551 --> 00:24:29,991 Speaker 3: the Voice to Parliament is all about. Is it's about 467 00:24:30,231 --> 00:24:32,711 Speaker 3: what is your lived experience like and how can we 468 00:24:32,711 --> 00:24:35,271 Speaker 3: improve outcomes for every for everyone, for all of us 469 00:24:35,271 --> 00:24:35,671 Speaker 3: all more. 470 00:24:36,591 --> 00:24:38,351 Speaker 1: I don't know if you're getting a lot when you're 471 00:24:38,351 --> 00:24:40,191 Speaker 1: just in terms of the Voice to Parliament, Are you 472 00:24:40,351 --> 00:24:44,111 Speaker 1: finding any online even with your own kind of socials? 473 00:24:44,111 --> 00:24:48,911 Speaker 1: Are you finding a lot of negativity? And if you are. 474 00:24:49,911 --> 00:24:51,511 Speaker 1: I would love for you to share, how are you 475 00:24:51,551 --> 00:24:52,631 Speaker 1: looking at yourself? 476 00:24:52,871 --> 00:24:56,151 Speaker 4: I I you know, I get my fair share of trolling. 477 00:24:56,311 --> 00:25:00,471 Speaker 3: But I'm in a very unique position because I am 478 00:25:00,791 --> 00:25:03,471 Speaker 3: a presenter on TV and I have to be impartial 479 00:25:04,031 --> 00:25:08,311 Speaker 3: and I have to ask the questions. So for that reason, 480 00:25:08,431 --> 00:25:10,991 Speaker 3: I can't put forward my position. I can't take a 481 00:25:11,031 --> 00:25:13,431 Speaker 3: stance on the boys to Parliament. I'm not telling people 482 00:25:13,431 --> 00:25:16,591 Speaker 3: to vote yes or to vote no.

Yes, 502 00:26:18,191 --> 00:26:22,071 Speaker 1: high rates of online trolls and what would you say, 503 00:26:22,231 --> 00:26:24,231 Speaker 1: a lot of our moms that are listening or watching. 504 00:26:23,911 --> 00:26:27,151 Speaker 3: This y you you will be very pleased to know 505 00:26:27,511 --> 00:26:30,911 Speaker 3: that your voice and Stan's voice came at a very 506 00:26:30,951 --> 00:26:35,031 Speaker 3: important time for me. So I was on a plane 507 00:26:35,071 --> 00:26:38,031 Speaker 3: and this was it was actually months after you had 508 00:26:38,111 --> 00:26:41,271 Speaker 3: your yarn with Stan dropped on this podcast, and I 509 00:26:41,311 --> 00:26:45,551 Speaker 3: was on a plane and I I really needed to 510 00:26:45,591 --> 00:26:47,511 Speaker 3: hear everything that you need that you had to say. 511 00:26:47,711 --> 00:26:50,471 Speaker 3: So and the thing that cut through the most and 512 00:26:50,511 --> 00:26:53,871 Speaker 3: gave me most comfort was the question that you asked 513 00:26:53,911 --> 00:26:57,511 Speaker 3: to stand and he said, it is hard. It is 514 00:26:57,591 --> 00:27:03,631 Speaker 3: hard at the moment, and hearing that validation a firm 515 00:27:03,751 --> 00:27:06,191 Speaker 3: how I was feeling and that it was okay to 516 00:27:06,311 --> 00:27:09,311 Speaker 3: feel like what I was going through was a struggle 517 00:27:10,271 --> 00:27:13,071 Speaker 3: because you know, and he was speaking directly to first 518 00:27:13,071 --> 00:27:15,271 Speaker 3: stations journals. I don't know who were you thinking of 519 00:27:15,351 --> 00:27:18,231 Speaker 3: when you asked him at that question, what's your advice 520 00:27:18,271 --> 00:27:20,871 Speaker 3: to other first stations journos in newsrooms? 521 00:27:20,871 --> 00:27:22,591 Speaker 4: And they might be the only one. And he said, 522 00:27:23,151 --> 00:27:26,271 Speaker 4: just know that it is hard, and I was like, oh, 523 00:27:26,671 --> 00:27:29,711 Speaker 4: how does he know? How do you know? I was 524 00:27:29,711 --> 00:27:34,271 Speaker 4: looking at that flying going, oh my goodness talking to me, 525 00:27:34,991 --> 00:27:35,911 Speaker 4: That's what it felt like. 526 00:27:36,191 --> 00:27:41,071 Speaker 3: And so you have to find those moments. Listen to podcasts. 527 00:27:41,071 --> 00:27:43,911 Speaker 3: There's so many podcasts out there that could be a comfort. 528 00:27:43,951 --> 00:27:48,871 Speaker 3: There's information out there. Last night Karina told me don't 529 00:27:48,911 --> 00:27:50,671 Speaker 3: look at Twitter before you go to sleep, because I 530 00:27:50,671 --> 00:27:52,151 Speaker 3: was looking at Twitter or X. 531 00:27:52,431 --> 00:27:55,631 Speaker 4: I was looking and she was like, put it down, 532 00:27:56,671 --> 00:27:59,991 Speaker 4: put the phone down, so that I cleaned my head. 533 00:28:00,191 --> 00:28:06,671 Speaker 1: I don't have Facebook, my personal Instagram, or Twitter on 534 00:28:06,711 --> 00:28:11,111 Speaker 1: my phone, so obviously I don't. I don't have it 535 00:28:11,151 --> 00:28:11,511 Speaker 1: on my phone. 536 00:28:11,511 --> 00:28:12,111 Speaker 4: Oh wow. 537 00:28:12,431 --> 00:28:17,311 Speaker 1: So my advice to look after my own mental health 538 00:28:17,751 --> 00:28:20,271 Speaker 1: and to be present with my kids and not let 539 00:28:20,311 --> 00:28:24,031 Speaker 1: all of this outside noise consume me. I get asked 540 00:28:24,071 --> 00:28:26,911 Speaker 1: about the voice every minute of the day. I deliver 541 00:28:27,031 --> 00:28:30,431 Speaker 1: training culture, capital of Training. Well, every question is what's 542 00:28:30,511 --> 00:28:33,071 Speaker 1: my stance? And I always said, same as you. 543 00:28:33,671 --> 00:28:36,271 Speaker 3: What Monday we can do in an hour will change 544 00:28:37,111 --> 00:28:40,711 Speaker 3: an organization's trajectory. Let me just say that I've seen 545 00:28:40,711 --> 00:28:42,711 Speaker 3: you in action. Mandad it's incredible. 546 00:28:42,631 --> 00:28:47,631 Speaker 1: Surrenders on the first Nations Advisory for Football Australia in Australia, 547 00:28:47,751 --> 00:28:50,391 Speaker 1: and we got to watch a game the Materialities, which 548 00:28:50,431 --> 00:28:52,551 Speaker 1: was amazing. And then I saw you at the book 549 00:28:52,591 --> 00:28:56,711 Speaker 1: festival down here Taylor read and Stand Yes Spoke, which 550 00:28:56,751 --> 00:28:59,671 Speaker 1: was unbelievable, and then got to hang out at the 551 00:28:59,671 --> 00:29:01,951 Speaker 1: pub down here and just have a feed. 552 00:29:02,231 --> 00:29:06,311 Speaker 3: Yep. So I think of those moments that look and 553 00:29:06,471 --> 00:29:09,391 Speaker 3: something that Sand says a lot is that when he 554 00:29:09,471 --> 00:29:12,351 Speaker 3: needs it the most, the ancestors will put someone in 555 00:29:12,391 --> 00:29:15,991 Speaker 3: front of him, like you or like Tila walking down. 556 00:29:15,911 --> 00:29:17,751 Speaker 4: Their beach, you know, because they both. 557 00:29:17,671 --> 00:29:19,111 Speaker 1: Had dinner with Tila last night. 558 00:29:19,271 --> 00:29:20,751 Speaker 4: Wow oh I saw. 559 00:29:22,671 --> 00:29:24,631 Speaker 1: So he reached out to me and said can we 560 00:29:24,631 --> 00:29:26,991 Speaker 1: have a yarn? I'm like, oh my god, and I 561 00:29:26,991 --> 00:29:28,351 Speaker 1: would love to have a yan with you. 562 00:29:28,591 --> 00:29:30,511 Speaker 3: And then the other day, like Karina and I are 563 00:29:30,551 --> 00:29:33,791 Speaker 3: at Spice Alli, like a food area, and it was 564 00:29:33,831 --> 00:29:35,831 Speaker 3: a weird time to day. It was like five o'clock 565 00:29:35,831 --> 00:29:38,071 Speaker 3: in the afternoon, four o'clock in the afternoon and Amy 566 00:29:38,111 --> 00:29:42,871 Speaker 3: Tunic was there with Amy's husband Luke, and I hadn't 567 00:29:42,871 --> 00:29:45,911 Speaker 3: seen them for ages, you know, So we set sit 568 00:29:46,031 --> 00:29:47,791 Speaker 3: together and eat and have a great yarn, and we 569 00:29:47,831 --> 00:29:51,791 Speaker 3: catch up that they are random people that you bump 570 00:29:51,871 --> 00:29:54,511 Speaker 3: into that the ancestors know that you need to see 571 00:29:54,511 --> 00:29:56,951 Speaker 3: them in that moment, you know, so, so you have 572 00:29:56,991 --> 00:30:00,711 Speaker 3: to be open to seeing those things. Like when that happens, 573 00:30:00,711 --> 00:30:05,271 Speaker 3: you can easily walk past the person. Yeah, but it's 574 00:30:05,271 --> 00:30:06,591 Speaker 3: happened for a reason, you know. 575 00:30:06,711 --> 00:30:07,791 Speaker 4: Just let it, let it breathe. 576 00:30:07,991 --> 00:30:10,471 Speaker 1: I know. I literally I remember when I run into 577 00:30:10,471 --> 00:30:12,111 Speaker 1: at the pub because I thought I was going to 578 00:30:12,191 --> 00:30:16,111 Speaker 1: see you at the book thing, and I end up 579 00:30:16,111 --> 00:30:19,391 Speaker 1: giving your T shirt to someone, your Black Magical my 580 00:30:19,471 --> 00:30:22,071 Speaker 1: T shirt. And I said to them, by the way, 581 00:30:22,111 --> 00:30:24,311 Speaker 1: this was from Norelda Jacobs and like, oh my god, 582 00:30:24,311 --> 00:30:26,751 Speaker 1: you're giving it to me. And I was like, yes, 583 00:30:26,831 --> 00:30:29,071 Speaker 1: it's all good. I'll see Narrelda again and I'll hook 584 00:30:29,111 --> 00:30:33,151 Speaker 1: her up. And they could not believe your T shirt. 585 00:30:33,991 --> 00:30:36,551 Speaker 1: So remind me. I'm going to send you a tea 586 00:30:36,671 --> 00:30:39,231 Speaker 1: so you can represent. But I just want to say, 587 00:30:39,751 --> 00:30:43,431 Speaker 1: finally we're able to jump on here and have this yarn. 588 00:30:44,071 --> 00:30:46,111 Speaker 1: If there's anything that you want to share with anyone, 589 00:30:46,471 --> 00:30:48,791 Speaker 1: doesn't have to be about the referendum, going to be 590 00:30:48,831 --> 00:30:50,711 Speaker 1: about the work that you're doing. Is there anything in 591 00:30:50,751 --> 00:30:52,991 Speaker 1: the pipeline? Is anything that you want to share with us? 592 00:30:52,991 --> 00:30:55,911 Speaker 1: So you haven't? Ah? Can they hear it here? Not? 593 00:30:56,151 --> 00:30:57,231 Speaker 1: Well that magic woman? 594 00:30:57,351 --> 00:30:57,991 Speaker 4: Oh gosh. 595 00:30:58,031 --> 00:31:03,271 Speaker 3: I mean there's always things. You'll be the first to act, 596 00:31:03,831 --> 00:31:07,071 Speaker 3: will be the first to no. There's so much going on. 597 00:31:07,391 --> 00:31:11,191 Speaker 3: But I think it's just really important. 598 00:31:11,551 --> 00:31:12,151 Speaker 1: You know, we're. 599 00:31:13,591 --> 00:31:16,391 Speaker 3: Moving from Perth to Sydney. Was was quite a big move, 600 00:31:16,591 --> 00:31:20,151 Speaker 3: you know, going into the unknown. Leaving an amazing job 601 00:31:20,591 --> 00:31:23,991 Speaker 3: as the newsreader for for a capital city of Perth 602 00:31:24,031 --> 00:31:27,791 Speaker 3: and then moving into the unknown was huge. But it 603 00:31:27,911 --> 00:31:30,671 Speaker 3: was a willingness to kind of step outside your comfort zone. 604 00:31:30,831 --> 00:31:33,271 Speaker 3: And then from that then it was just saying yes 605 00:31:33,311 --> 00:31:35,191 Speaker 3: to things and yes to things and meeting people and 606 00:31:35,231 --> 00:31:39,991 Speaker 3: making friends and making friends with you and locking Teala 607 00:31:40,071 --> 00:31:41,631 Speaker 3: down and making friends with Tila. 608 00:31:41,711 --> 00:31:46,551 Speaker 4: You know that's hard to crack, mind you. 609 00:31:46,791 --> 00:31:49,031 Speaker 1: She reached out to me and I told her last sight, 610 00:31:49,071 --> 00:31:50,951 Speaker 1: I said, thank you for being tenderal with your time. 611 00:31:51,271 --> 00:31:54,071 Speaker 1: I'm like, Taylor, I can believe you text me.

If you're open to things, then new 615 00:32:02,351 --> 00:32:05,271 Speaker 3: experiences will happen, and that experience lead to the next 616 00:32:05,271 --> 00:32:07,831 Speaker 3: opportunity and then a bigger thing and a bigger thing, 617 00:32:07,911 --> 00:32:10,631 Speaker 3: and then before you know it, you have this incredible 618 00:32:10,631 --> 00:32:13,791 Speaker 3: network of people of movers and shakers, people who are 619 00:32:13,871 --> 00:32:16,431 Speaker 3: changing the world, you know, and then you are in 620 00:32:16,471 --> 00:32:19,591 Speaker 3: the right place to be able to use your influence, 621 00:32:19,631 --> 00:32:22,591 Speaker 3: to be able to influence everybody around you, you know. 622 00:32:22,791 --> 00:32:26,231 Speaker 3: So that is powerful, It's really powerful. But it starts 623 00:32:26,351 --> 00:32:28,271 Speaker 3: with a single step. I mean, I know how cliche 624 00:32:28,311 --> 00:32:30,391 Speaker 3: that that is, but it does start with a single step. 625 00:32:30,471 --> 00:32:33,911 Speaker 3: And we all have the confidence on the inside to 626 00:32:34,351 --> 00:32:37,511 Speaker 3: change the world.

And she wants to be on TV, right. 655 00:33:51,711 --> 00:33:55,231 Speaker 1: She's someone that is really proud of her culture, and 656 00:33:55,271 --> 00:33:57,991 Speaker 1: she's like you, she wants me to go and tell 657 00:33:58,031 --> 00:34:01,231 Speaker 1: the class and tell the kids about being a Murray 658 00:34:02,391 --> 00:34:06,471 Speaker 1: tell the as well. And I've done it with all 659 00:34:06,511 --> 00:34:09,831 Speaker 1: of my kids. But yeah, you brought back some memories 660 00:34:09,991 --> 00:34:13,351 Speaker 1: that I know, and I probably didn't think at the 661 00:34:13,391 --> 00:34:16,551 Speaker 1: time meant a lot to my kids until you started 662 00:34:16,551 --> 00:34:19,151 Speaker 1: talking about it. I started thinking about my kids, and 663 00:34:19,311 --> 00:34:21,431 Speaker 1: I spent four days with them, so I'm not getting emotional. 664 00:34:21,551 --> 00:34:23,791 Speaker 1: I spent four days with them here in Sydney. But 665 00:34:23,831 --> 00:34:26,271 Speaker 1: I just want to say, you know everything that you 666 00:34:26,351 --> 00:34:30,231 Speaker 1: do and for how you you know you are, what 667 00:34:30,311 --> 00:34:33,271 Speaker 1: you get is what you see, and you are real. 668 00:34:33,911 --> 00:34:36,391 Speaker 1: And for some of us, some of us might think 669 00:34:36,751 --> 00:34:39,271 Speaker 1: that we need to be one person in the western 670 00:34:39,311 --> 00:34:41,351 Speaker 1: world of white color world, and then we need to 671 00:34:41,391 --> 00:34:43,871 Speaker 1: be our true selves in our communities. We don't have 672 00:34:43,991 --> 00:34:46,711 Speaker 1: to know we're walking in these two worlds, but we 673 00:34:46,751 --> 00:34:49,591 Speaker 1: can still be who we are in both of those 674 00:34:49,631 --> 00:34:52,591 Speaker 1: spaces totally. I think that's what I want my kids 675 00:34:52,591 --> 00:34:55,191 Speaker 1: to grow up. I want them to realize that they 676 00:34:55,191 --> 00:34:57,111 Speaker 1: don't need to change who they are because they're the 677 00:34:57,191 --> 00:34:59,751 Speaker 1: only black kids in their school and they don't need 678 00:34:59,791 --> 00:35:03,311 Speaker 1: to be anything but themselves. But that's hard, right. 679 00:35:04,031 --> 00:35:07,591 Speaker 3: And we can't afford to because our entire community rely 680 00:35:07,711 --> 00:35:10,471 Speaker 3: on that, depend on that. Otherwise we would just be 681 00:35:10,511 --> 00:35:13,471 Speaker 3: the status quo if we fit in and if we 682 00:35:13,551 --> 00:35:17,351 Speaker 3: compromised ourselves too much and we compromise our culture. We 683 00:35:17,391 --> 00:35:21,511 Speaker 3: can't compromise. We can be in the rooms to change it. 684 00:35:21,711 --> 00:35:23,951 Speaker 3: That for some people is a compromise, but that's where 685 00:35:23,951 --> 00:35:24,391 Speaker 3: it ends. 686 00:35:25,391 --> 00:35:27,551 Speaker 1: Look, I just want to keep you here or Dad, 687 00:35:27,551 --> 00:35:30,191 Speaker 1: but I know you've got somewhere else to go.
