Episode 11: Let's roar with Trina Massey

My guest this month is Councillor Trina Massey. Trina is a proud, queer woman and immigrant of Filipino and African American ethnicity. She's the first ever Black, Asian, queer woman to hold political office in Queensland! And she's a record-spinning DJ with an extensive music collection, who goes under the name Black Amex.

We yarn about what it was like for Trina growing up as a mixed-race kid in Brisbane, how she likes to surprise Filipinos by bursting out in Tagalog, and the importance of community and social justice. We also talk about how emotional white men can be, being authentic and doing politics differently, and encouragement for other diverse women who are thinking about getting into politics.

Check out Trina's website: Trina Massey - Greens Councillor for The Gabba Ward. Follow her on Facebook: Trina Massey Councillor for the Gabba Ward or Instagram: trinamasseygabba.

Are you a woman or girl of colour? Then join me, Netta Finney Mejia on Lioness Heart, a brand-new monthly half-hour podcast where we delve into the life of a strong, brilliant, badass woman of colour.

Let’s raise our voices, share our stories, and laugh and cry together. But most importantly, let’s roar!

Because let’s face it, it’s a jungle out there and we black and brown women, our big lioness hearts give us the strength and courage to smash through that jungle and forge our own paths.
