#1 Identity, Politics And Purpose W/ Madison Griffiths

Madison is an activist, poet, producer and writer from Melbourne. She has been published in places like VICE, The Guardian and SBS. Madison and I spoke about our experiences in Melbourne as people of colour, as people raised by migrant parents, as people who sometimes felt as though they existed on the outside. We spoke about cancel culture and social media and their shortcomings. We also spoke about how mental health fits into all of this. Naturally, we ended by having a laugh about online dating. You can find Madison's work here: VICE, The Guardian, SBS, Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram. This is a raw and honest conversation. We touched on delicate and upsetting themes of racism, mental health and suicide. If you are concerned about your own health or someone else's, or if you need someone to talk with, visit:Lifeline (24hrs): 13 11 14 - www.lifeline.org.auKids' Helpline (24hrs): 1800 55 1800 - www.kidshelp.com.auBeyondBlue (24hrs): 1300 22 4636 - www.beyondblue.org.auThanks for listening.Love,Aleks
