Eloping with the Truth

In a changing world we, Joyce and Anna, question what it means to exist in a rapidly evolving and modern society. Each episode considers a variety of topical issues, perspectives, and the importance of sharing your narrative through interviews with inspirational and insightful people. We aim to uncover the power we all as individuals have to create change and pursue ambitious goals, discarding excuses like our age or current ability. We encourage everyone to step out of their comfort zones in favour of becoming the best versions of themselves.

2.1 Native and Indigenous Communities: White veganism, Passing and Education

January 12, 2021 • Lia • Season 2 • Episode 1

What does it mean to be an Indigenous women in America? Whilst most of us would comfortably say that we have an awareness of other cultures and communities around the world. It is undeniable that the extent of the knowledge surrounding specific communities is fairly limited especially when existing in countries on contrasting sides of the world.

This week, we sit down with our friend Lia and discuss her culture (e.g. in relation to ethical food consumption) and different opinions pertaining to her lived experience as an indigenous women in America. We discuss sensitive topics such as disordered eating which may be triggering to some listeners. Proceed with caution.
