Subtleties of Shutting Up - a podcast by SYN Media

Fall back and unpack.

In the Season One finale, I chat with my sister, Awura Abena, and our childhood friend, Adjoa, about shutting up. We discuss whether we believe in allyship, the dangers of speaking for others, oppression olympics, emotions being viewed as irrational, intersectionality, always recognising your privilege, false equivalences and shutting up. We vent, rant and call you out to call you in.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. Hosted by Nana. Produced by Awura Abena and Nana. 

The Subtlety of It is recorded and produced on the stolen land of the Wurundjeri People of the Kulin Nation. I would like to pay my respect to the Ancestors who protect this sacred land and live and speak through community members. I would like to also pay my respect to Elders and community members who are the ongoing custodians of this land and pass on knowledge of Country and the beauty of their cultures through generations. 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.
