Our Women, Our Stories: Recent Episodes
Moale James
The podcast, “Our women, Our stories" is a sub-phase of the Australian Council of the Arts funded project, 'Our knowledge, Our practice, Our stories' and invites Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander and Pacific Islander women to participate and engage in conversations around the value of cultural knowledge, arts practice and storytelling in our community.
Hosted by Papuan-Australian woman, Moale James this podcast goes into depth to unpack these conversations and themes through hegogo (coming together and talking). Join me as I share space with different First Nations women to learn more about their careers, experiences of reclaiming space and the ways they are empowering themselves and their communities.
Some of the themes we may discuss may include but are no limited to: - Education, intergenerational learning and the importance of incorporating cultural knowledge into our early childhood and education spaces. - Arts and community projects as a form of healing, connection and celebration for our community. - Activism, community healing and the importance of humanising our issues in our activism spaces. - Cultural heritage, management and how do these institutions welcome our voices. - Land management and the use of cultural knowledge and methods in caring for the land.
I invite you to listen with an open heart and mind... these are our women and our stories.
In this final (for the fore-seeable future) podcast episode I share space with Lisa Villiamu and Mary Harm exploring the ways they advocate for their community through the arts and engagement projects.
We explore their entrance into community leadership and the ways their work has been both healing and inspiring. Lisa and Mary share stories of how their work and side-projects incorporate their cultural knowledge and practice in their activism for multiple social issues including climate change.
There are multiple narratives that are often plastered on our First Nations Oceanic community. We explore some of these - being "afakasi"; living in a patriarchal society; pillars in Western society that define and restrict us, and many more. Lisa and Mary share how their work and the work of others is shifting these narratives.
We also explore the value and strength of our women and some of the lessons they have had to learn which have been difficult but much needed - like the value of rest.
Come and sit with us as we explore what it is like being a proud and loud Pacific woman living in Australia.

In this podcast episode of Our Women, Our Stories, I share space with Lauren Chan (Lauren's Littlies), Phoebe Preuss (Living Koko) and Teleise Neemia (Uniquely Pacific). In this episode we explore each womans business - the gaps it fills, the purpose for starting the business and where they see their business growing in the future.
Despite being separated by state borders we discover that some of the issues being experienced by one businesswoman can be the same - feelings of imposter syndrome; knowing how to value their products and their work; the battle between practicing culture and then turning culture into business.
These women spoke honestly about the advice they would give their younger-selves and for the emerging business owner. The main takeaway - be kind to yourself.
These women are also changing regular business practice to be more community-based, rather than profit-based. We hope you enjoy this episode, sit down, take a breath and listen.

Often we hear these 'buzz words' in relation to decolonising the institutions that collect and store First Nations objects. Some of these buzz words include, cultural safety, co-designing, staffing re-structures, etc. Not to say that these methods of decolonising institutions aren't relevant or useful. But to highlight that sometimes using a buzzword and slapping it on a project or initiative takes away from the true value and aims behind it. Sometimes a buzz words takes away from an opportunity to educate and elevate the voices and work of First Nations artists and those working in the public sector.
In this podcast episode I share space with Auntie Sana Bala, Auntie Lisa Hilli and finally, colleague and friend, Ruha Fifita as we discuss their work in the public sector; the different ways we can de-colonise institutions as Pacific Islander women; the allies within the institutions who pave way for POC to come through. These women give insight into how Australia is changing, how our experiences are unique and valuable in an institutional space. We discuss current projects, sharing stories about histories and stories that often aren't publicly acknowledged.
Come sit with us, learn our stories and reflect on what you (if you work in the public sector) could be doing to elevate First Nations public sector workers.

As First Nations people, we have been encompassed with cultural knowledge since before we were born, our ways of teaching and learning vary, whether it be through dance, song, craft or oral storytelling. It is true that learning has been central to our ways of living, being and belonging.
But, how do you navigate cultural learning in a space where sometimes you are the only culturally diverse child or family in a community? How do you stay connected to culture, when you're not on your own country? And, if you're an educator how do you ensure children and families feel acknowledged and a sense of belonging in your organisation?
These are the questions I explore with three Cultural Inclusion Educators, Jackie Bennett, Cecelia Wright and Ranu James. Join us as we explore the education sector, the experiences these women have had in their careers and the vital impact cultural inclusion support and resources have on not only our babies, but also our families, educators and wider community.

In this podcast episode I share space with Ginny Jones, Marley Morgan and Deline Briscoe to explore their artistry and businesses as fierce Aboriginal women.
Calling in from different corners of the globe we discussed a vast landscape of topics, sharing stories of our experiences. We delved into cultural through our arts practice when it comes to grief, healing country and re-learning and discovering knowledge once lost. We look deeply into this topic of legacy and the resources that these women are establishing to pass down to their children and these emerging elders.
We also explore this trend of, ‘breaking the system’, and how our thought process and fight changes over time. We also explore this new idea of not needing to break the system to succeed, but supporting our community to work within this established system and to make change from the inside and how success can come from more than just the colonial monetary value.
Come, sit with us and learn the stories of Ginny, Marley and Deline.

In this podcast episode I share space with Ginny Jones, Marley Morgan and Deline Briscoe to explore their artistry and businesses as fierce Aboriginal women.
Calling in from different corners of the globe we discussed a vast landscape of topics, sharing stories of our experiences. We delved into cultural through our arts practice when it comes to grief, healing country and re-learning and discovering knowledge once lost. We look deeply into this topic of legacy and the resources that these women are establishing to pass down to their children and these emerging elders.
We also explore this trend of, ‘breaking the system’, and how our thought process and fight changes over time. We also explore this new idea of not needing to break the system to succeed, but supporting our community to work within this established system and to make change from the inside and how success can come from more than just the colonial monetary value.
Come, sit with us and learn the stories of Ginny, Marley and Deline.

In this podcast episode I speak with three Pacific Islander Artists and Creatives, Julia Mageau-Gray, Reina Sutton and Maryann Talia Pau. These three Aunties have worked extensively across Australia, Aotearoa and the rest of the globe. We spend time discussing how to we create culturally safe spaces for our community to experiment with their arts practice and the “fairy-godmother/bob-the-builder” individuals we have worked with who help us create this spaces and bring arts projects into fruition. We delve into the (at times) frustrating realities of accessing funding to get a project off the ground, the impact covid has had on the flow of creative juices and so much more.
My original project proposal was exploring this idea of the ways we “bring in” cultural knowledge to our work and practice. What I learnt in these episodes is that these areas of our lives cannot be segregated, but they are one and the same, our “cultural arts practice” is just “our practice”.
I hope you enjoy this podcast as much as I loved sitting in space with these aunties, recording their words and then being trusted to share them with you.

As First Nations people, we have been encompassed with cultural knowledge since before we were born, our ways of teaching and learning vary, whether it be through dance, song, craft or oral storytelling. It is true that learning has been central to our ways of living, being and belonging.
But, how do you navigate cultural learning in a space where sometimes you are the only culturally diverse child or family in a community? How do you stay connected to culture, when you're not on your own country? And, if you're an educator how do you ensure children and families feel acknowledged and a sense of belonging in your organisation?
These are the questions I explore with three Cultural Inclusion Educators, Jackie Bennett, Cecelia Wright and Ranu James. Join us as we explore the education sector, the experiences these women have had in their careers and the vital impact cultural inclusion support and resources have on not only our babies, but also our families, educators and wider community.
