Episode #247: Teela Reid helps educate us on First Nations issues
This week is NAIDOC week, where we celebrate the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. In today’s episode, proud Wiradjuri and Wailwan woman Teela Reid joins us to not only share her experience growing up in Australia but also to help educate anyone who wants to learn more about First Nations issues.
Teela is the host of the ‘Blak Matters’ podcast, which is an exploration of First Nations topics and why they matter, and today she delves into some of these topics such as the importance of Acknowledgement of Country and why we should all celebrate NAIDOC week. Teela is also a lawyer, so is the perfect person to explain The 2023 Australian Indigenous Voice referendum that’s happening later this year.
