We have all just celebrated International Woman's Day across Australia. To Mark this day we are sharing our conversation with the delightful Tarla Lambert. A self confessed political junkie, writer and fierce advocate for equality.Tarla is the co-owner & editor in chief of Women’s Agenda and like many of us felt that the Choose to Challenge theme this year was hard to connect with. We have been challenging on many fronts for many years and the movement on change has been too slow. Women’s agenda has shared many opinions this week on this theme.Tarla has a rich heritage, her Malay Indian grandmother was known to ride in Jags and live in mansions.Tarla shares with us her challenges growing up as a mixed race child, how she connects with her heritage today and how glass jars that spices are kept in seem to be the thing of south East Asian women the world over.We discuss how the mainstream media in Australia lacks diverse voices and a shortage of women, which impacts on how the news is reported.Women's Agenda is creating a pipeline of diverse talent through its awards, something that many businesses are simply not doing.We discuss how we need more "Truth and Authenticity" from our leaders world over and the importance of owning our heritage and sharing what the barriers are and the support needed to break these down.I do love her line "If you think it is political madness gone mad you are missing the point". Get with the Program.We nearly named this episode "made more dosa's" - to find out why you will need to listen to ourconversation with the delightful Tarla Lambert.
