Off The Record

In this week\'s episode, we are joined by content creator, re-educator, and co-host of the Unapologetically Blak Podcast, Alicia Johnson. Alicia is a proud Indigenous woman who uses her online platforms to advocate for our First Nations people. In this episode, we discuss the role of culture and race in health and shed light on issues relating to racism and representation in Australia.

We discuss:

• Alicia’s thoughts and experiences around issues relating to cultural and body representation in the media growing up as an Indigenous woman in Australia 
• Destigmatising what it means to be fat 
• The impact of poverty and food scarcity on health outcomes
• The pervasive nature of racism in Australian society
• Alicia’s own experiences relating to racism in the healthcare system
• The impact of racism in healthcare and how this can act as a barrier to accessing healthcare services
• What non-Indigenous Australian’s can do better to support our First Nations people
