Queer and Belonging

And just like that, we're back for a brand new season! To feel safe, to feel seen, to feel like you’re belong somewhere – unfortunately is a luxury that not all queer peeps can afford to experience. But what happen when these queer individuals also belong to an ethnic or cultural minority, which further complicate their sense of belonging – or the lack thereof? To unpack this big and thorny topic, we have: - MJ (they/them) is YPN's Aboriginal Outreach & Project Officer, who's leading the pioneering 'Pride Yarns with Mob' initiative🖤💛❤️ They're also a drag performer superstar and currently on tour in Melbourne😎 - Lukasz or Luki (he/him) is Vice Chancellor's Research Fellow at ECU, and previously the founder of The Rainbow Migrants💫 He's also in the process of setting up Pride Intergenerational Housing and ECU Rainbow Migrants Observatory🔭🏘️ What are you waiting for? Dive in for 45 minutes of intersectional goodness and lots of laughter too✨ Acknowledgement of Country We'd like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which we work, the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and their continuing connection to land, waters, sea, sky and community. YPN is based in Boorloo, on Noongar Boodjar and we acknowledge the Whadjuk people of the Noongar Nation who are the traditional custodians of this land. We pay our respects to elders past and present. Sovereignty was never ceded. This always was, and always will be, Aboriginal land.
