11.01.2022 What I'm not, is a glossary for all things Africa. And what I'm not, are the stereotypes that you have of me in your head. What I am, is a law and political sci...ence student. What I am, is a writer and a poet. And what I am, is a sacrifice of a mother who went through a lot, so luckily I never had to. - Anisa Nandaula, The Neighbourhood #laboitetheatre ##multiculturalaustralia #changetheconversation See more

11.01.2022 Ramadan Mubarak! Ramadan is a time for those of the Muslim faith to spend in reflection, prayer and to be with community. During Ramadan, Muslims fast from sun...rise to sunset, breaking the fast each day with the iftar feast, which is often a social gathering. This very important holy month for our Muslim neighbours is unfortunately not immune to Coronavirus and communities are needing to find different ways to connect and support each other. We wish all our Muslim communities Ramadan Mubarak. See more

06.01.2022 I have been thinking and dreaming about how kindergartens could use a process like this to reach out to refugee and asylum seeker communities or to welcome new families into the service. We know that the sharing of food is a huge part of how many of our families show and receive welcome. I know its a little tricky right now because of Covid but looking into the future...do you think there is a way that kindergartens could used an event like a shared meal to deepen your connection with these communities? https://welcomedinnerproject.org/our-purpose

06.01.2022 Its a myth that small children don't notice race. Actually studies tell us they notice different languages in the womb and have a preference for facial features that resemble their caregivers from the newborn stage. It is crucial that we have conversations about race and diversity from a very young age and that those conversations continue to evolve according to their developmental stage. They will learn to understand diversity based on the social messaging they receive. We must be explicit in our support of difference, with our words, our interactions and the environment we create, otherwise they will simply absorb the views of the dominant culture (both about themselves and others).

03.01.2022 One way we can look after each other though this #coronavirus event is to share important facts, especially resources for people with English as a second or oth...er language.

03.01.2022 The Black Lives Matter movement continues to demand justice and accountability for violence and racism inflicted on Black communities in the United States and a...round the world. Here in Australia, we too must acknowledge that Indigenous Australians are targets of systemic and institutional racism. There have been 400 Aboriginal deaths in custody since the 1991 Royal Commission into Aboriginal deaths in custody, and no police officers have been convicted over these deaths. Key recommendations into breaking the cycle of imprisonment have not been implemented. In the decades since the report, the rate of incarceration of Indigenous Australians has doubled. Change starts with each one of us taking real action, every day. We can educate ourselves on the history and impact of colonisation on Australias First Nations peoples. We can examine our own prejudices and understand how non-Indigenous Australians have benefited from the systemic discrimination, dispossession and inequality of First Nations people over hundreds of years. We can listen to the voices of Indigenous Australians and hear what they need us to do to support Indigenous communities to heal and thrive. As Reconciliation Week 2020 draws to a close today, we can ensure that our daily lives are filled with actions, whether big or small, that are informed by the five dimensions of reconciliation; historical acceptance, race relations, equality and equity, institutional integrity and unity.
