Legacy and leadership: Karla and Lowanna Grant on family, storytelling, truth, and why they need a reality TV show

We know we say this about every episode...but this episode is a really special one - it’s a conversation about culture, family, storytelling, and strength across generations.Alicia from Missing Perspectives sits down with two powerhouse women in First Nations media: Karla Grant and her daughter Lowanna Grant. You might know them from their work on SBS and NITV - Karla as the long-standing host of Living Black, and Lowanna through her incredible podcast Ngiyang, and her reporting on major national events.But this chat goes far deeper than their media careers. Karla and Lowanna open up about their incredibly close bond: as mother and daughter, as colleagues, and as proud First Nations women navigating the responsibilities that come with telling First Nations stories in this country. They reflect on how their relationship has evolved, what it’s been like to work side-by-side, and how they support each other through both personal and political turning points - including the aftermath of the Voice referendum.It’s an honest, moving, and at times deeply personal conversation. We’re so grateful to Karla and Lowanna for their openness - and we hope you take as much from this as we did. Also - let's get them a reality TV show ASAP, please.
