In this compelling episode of the Black Magic Women Podcast, I yarn with special guest Amanda Healy. We dive deep into the powerful intersection of Aboriginal culture with the mining and fashion industries.

This episode is a vibrant discussion that spans across personal journeys, economic empowerment, and the global representation of Aboriginal culture.

Amanda, a proud Wonnarua woman from the Hunter Valley in NSW, has over 35 years of experience in the mining industry, working with renowned companies like BHP, Rio Tinto, and WMC.

In 2014, she founded Kirrikin as a social enterprise to address the shortage of authentic Indigenous products. Kirrikin digitally prints stunning Aboriginal artwork onto luxurious cashmeres and silks, creating exquisite scarves and ties. With a growing international reputation, Kirrikin is loved not only in Australia but also in the USA and Europe.
