  • It's not a destination, it's a journey - Meet Erdem and Eloise

    It's not a destination, it's a journey - Meet Erdem and Eloise
    Jul 10 2020
    Firstly welcome back to SameSame Different, this is Western Sydney Podcast. For the launch of Series 2, we are very honoured to be highlighting a recent study undertaken by the LGBTIQ Domestic and Family Violence Interagency, Western Sydney University and ACON. Home Is Where Our Story Begins explores family, community, and belonging for sexuality and gender diverse people from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds. It looks at the lived experiences of sexuality and gender diverse people in Greater Western Sydney. We are joined today by ACON representative Eloise Layard - Community Health Promotion Officer specialising in Sexual, Domestic and Family Violence and Community Intern Erdem Yigiter both of whom were involved in the research. Our host, the ever-faithful Harshi, joins us again after for another series... welcome back Harshi! We know there are many complexities within communities relating to being from a CALD background and being sexuality and gender diverse. We want to shine a light on the beautiful diversity that exists, helping to create safe and welcoming spaces and services for everyone in Western Sydney. We celebrate and support all diversity, and we hope that this episode will educate listeners and start conversations and promote conversations that allow education and learning within our CALD community.

    Amanda joins Host Harshi and Western Sydney MRC on our new venture of the discovery of Western Sydney and its rich diversity through storytelling and the amazing world of podcasts. Amanda is Strategic connector, confidence builder, Founder Business Woman Media, Founding Director Western Sydney Women and keynote speaker (on conflict, confidence and connecting). Busy Much... yep absolutely!! Amanda shares her experiences in life, how she builds her confidence and how she strives to now help the women of Western Sydney stand up and take the reins. She supports any woman in creating their future and businesses, how they can build a following, inspire others in doing so and then pass on the experience & connections enabling other women from Western Sydney to do the same. She highlights that sexism and general inequality still plays a massive part in our society. We walked away from this interview feeling motivated, inspired, empowered and ready to just get out and do something... let's hope you feel the same way. SameSame Different.

  • When I say I am Samoan, I encompass a value - Meet MaryJane

    When I say I am Samoan, I encompass a value - Meet MaryJane
    Jan 8 2020
    MaryJane is Co-Director of Matavai Pacific Cultural Arts, a Pacific Cultural Centre based in Liverpool. She is a Mother of 3, and wife to Fred. She shares with us her experience of representing Samoa as Miss Samoa and Miss South Pacific in the late ’90s, an actress, radio producer and broadcaster, and a passionate advocate for Pacifica people and climate change. Her presence in the room is one that you can find yourself being naturally drawn to, and as her journey unfolds we hear about the Pacific culture and region, their beliefs and values. We listen to her experiences of colonisation and climate change and its effects on culture, people, environment. She has faced racism in both her island community and outside. Throughout it all, she has remained grounded to her cultural values. The beauty of Western Sydney is represented by this strong women, and once again we come away feeling empathy, connected by stories and experiences that resonate - regardless of race, culture, religion or belief.
