subtle disruptors the write-ups
write-ups of those I have interviewed
Sieta Beckwith
There is something that we have forgotten. Something that came naturally to us when we were kids. Something that came naturally to our ancestors. Through carefully listening to ourselves and to others, we can find a way back to loving the earth again.
Jirra Lulla Harvey: Aboriginal Entrepreneurs and Disrupting Australian (mono)Culture - SDMEL03
I talk with Jirra Lulla Harvey about the emerging wave of Aboriginal entrepreneurs, and how this is subtly and profoundly bringing about a change in the race conversation within Australia, as well as improving the wellbeing of all Australians.
Jirra owns and runs Kalinya Communications, a marketing and communications agency focused on sharing diverse images and stories of Aboriginal identity in an effort to counterbalance the often negative media representation of Indigenous affairs. After a long history in the arts, including a stint at the National Gallery of Australia, Jirra started working with the next generation of Aboriginal entrepreneurs.
