Black & botched. Last year, Princess got a nose job in South Korea and let’s just say the surgery did not go to plan. 

We break down what an 'ethnic rhinoplasty' is, discuss living as a Black woman in South Korea, regret, how her friends reacted to her getting a nose job, not telling family, shady surgeons, the finances and accessibility of plastic surgery, featurism + colourism within Black communities, waking up in the middle of the surgery, not getting the results you asked for, breakups + heartbreak, familial love, whether generic self love advice is bs, celebrity culture, attitudes towards plastic surgery in Black communities in the U.K. vs her experience in South Korea, crying online, healing, and a whole lot more + receipts!

I pay my respects to Elders and community members who are the ongoing custodians of this land and pass on knowledge through generations. Sovereignty was never ceded. This land always was, always will be, Aboriginal land.

Join Nana and guests as we unpack seemingly small aspects of our identity which affect us in not so subtle ways. 

Join Nana and guests as we unpack seemingly small aspects of our identity which affect us in not so subtle ways.&nbsp;

The Subtlety Of It features conversations about race, identify, culture & intersectionality with diverse Australian millennials.

The Subtlety of It

The Subtlety of It is about seemingly small aspects of our identity which affect us in not so subtle ways. Let's unpack these things - consciously, openly and unapologetically.  

The Subtlety of It is recorded and produced on the land of the Wurundjeri People of the Kulin Nation. I would like to pay my respect to the Ancestors who protect this land, Elders, Traditional Owners of this land, and community members. Sovereignty was never ceded. This land always was, always will be, Aboriginal land.

This is a SYN Media Podcast. It was made possible with support from Creative Victoria and the Community Broadcasting Foundation.

Subtleties of Getting Plastic Surgery

Marker 06

Extraction & erasure. It’s the season 3 finale!! Black African music, art and language are co-opted and stolen globally - from Tik Tok to the DJ scene to dance to activism.

I chat with Samira about being a Black African creative in Australia.

We discuss what it means to extract Black talent, labour, ideas and intellect. We focus on how non-Black ‘people of colour’ consume Black people to gain money and social capital. We go beyond appropriation and discuss the violence of extraction in all areas of the arts and media. Of course, colourism enters the chat as we unpack who gets to say things and what it means to be silent; who is protected and who is erased. 

We discuss our love for Black Twitter, the power of the group chat, Black critique, Love Island and more. We end with an ode to Black histories, Black futures and Black possibilities. We revel in the beauty and sacredness of global Blackness and global Africanness. 

Some of the gworls are going to be upset by this episode but we move! I can’t thank Samira enough. We really put our hearts into this. This conversation was a balm - it felt safe. Samira peeled back LAYERS. I’m telling you the range is on another level. I’ll be coming back to the episode for years to come. 

It’s long and it’s beautiful and it’s needed. 

Enjoy! There's a little emotional season farewell at the end from me too hehe. Sending love <3

Subtleties of Stealing From Black People with Samira

Family & fragility. Tigist Kebede (@thetenatherapist) is a therapist based in Naarm (Melbourne). Friends, it’s been a tough few years in the panasonic and life in general, whew! Therapy is something I’m very grateful for. Tigist and I talk about everything from decolonising therapy to seeing your clients at community events. 

We talk about seeing therapy as a service, how eldest daughters in immigrant families deserve the world, how proximity in small minority groups affects therapy, white supremacy in the mental health field, seeking out a therapist with similar identities to you, anti-Blackness in the mental health & medical field, navigating family members/community members who don’t go to therapy (but probably should), breaking generational cycles, Black burnout, how therapy can help us all + much more!

There’s something for everyone here - whether you’re looking for a therapist, are currently in therapy, or hope to be. Tigist is fun and beautifully honest - bringing us structural critiques and weaving in her own stories and vulnerabilities. 

Sending love and tenderness your way!!
