Mental health and associated therapy is an often ignored topic as it comes with a lot of stigma associated with itself.

On that note, we speak with Gurvinder Kaur who uses the medium of arts as therapy for mental health. Gurvinder is a South-Asian migrant woman working in the mental health sector for 2 years and uses her lived experience to inspire people to access mental health support. 

Gurvinder started her Instagram page @artsybrownlady to combine her diverse lens using arts to talk about mental health issues with the South Asian community in Australia. Gurvinder is also a qualified youth worker!

She is a strong advocate of mental health issues and recommends everyone to seek help.

Using Arts for Mental Health: Gurvinder Kaur

Louis Harrison chats with Maggie Zhou about her experience connecting with culture from the other side of the world, the way she communicates with others and her experience developing resilience despite microaggressions and prejudice in society.

Maggie Zhou wears many hats. She’s a writer, editor, podcaster, content creator, speaker, emcee... and more that we couldn’t possibly fit into a list here.

The topics Maggie Zhou covers in her work range from sustainability, internet and pop culture to fashion. You might have read her pieces in some of the country’s top culture publications, perhaps you follow her for (slow) fashion tips or maybe this is the first time her name has come across your orbit. 

Maggie Zhou has a unique and authentic presence you’ve got to keep an eye on.

Politics, people, & polyglots: Jamal Hakim

Advertising and marketing thought leader, Romayne Perera, speaks with Ruhee Meghani. Reflecting on Romayne's life experiences - of migration, self-care, and community healing Ruhee & Romayne discuss the impacts of community on collective healing and intergenerational trauma. 

Episode Transcript Available - Click here.

Romayne read somewhere that emotional generosity is the key ingredient to all human relationships and this has been her obsession since. The practice of emotional generosity is particularly important for Romayne, who understands that those in the communications industry are responsible for how messages are distributed, received and acted upon, as well as how they are amplified, managed or quashed. In her work and in her community, Romayne strives to make people feel seen, safe, understood and appreciated; because that's how we can contribute to protecting others' resilience.
