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.

Hosted by Mundanara Bayles who was born and raised in Redfern (Sydney) Australia and currently lives in Queensland. The Black Magic Woman Podcast is an uplifting conversational style program featuring mainly First Nations people from Australia and around the world sharing their stories about their journey to highlight the diversity amongst First Nations peoples and the resilience of her people. She hopes these stories inspire her listeners and also create a better understanding of what First Nations Peoples culture and history.



Mundanara is guided by Aboriginal Terms of Reference and focusses more on who people are rather than on what they do.
