Welcome to Wildfire, a podcast brought to you by Ember Connect. Ember Connect is a free, digital platform for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and allies.

In this episode we’re talking about January 26 with Jody Nunn, who is a first generation Australian ally and the CEO of Reconciliation WA.

Australia is the only country that celebrates an invasion and genocide, and yet it’s safe to say both Narelle and Tess left this conversation feeling uplifted and positive about the future.

Jody’s advice on discussing facts and calling people in (rather than out) was particularly beneficial for allies. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed recording it.

About Wildfire
Wildfire is about sparking meaningful conversations that matter to Ember Connect’s members and allies.

This podcast creates a space to amplify voices, share stories, and explore topics that drive change, connection, and personal and professional growth.

Ember Connect Live is a free membership community for Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander women. It’s a living and breathing meeting place where we can gather, share stories and experiences, learn, and grow.

Ember Connect Live also provides another space where non-Indigenous women (our Allies), can learn, grow and be part of meaningful conversations.

Our platform is unique because we provide separate spaces for Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander women and non-Indigenous women to connect and communicate but importantly, we provide a THIRD space where we can all learn and grow together.
