Why Storytelling Is So Important (and how to do it!) - Phillipa Cameron, Kim Storey, Gisela Kauffman

Telling your own story or the story of others is vital if we're ever going to bridge that rural/urban divide and challenge gender roles. So without necessarily being professional writers... how do we do it?
In this episode, Kirsten and Jackie speak to three rural women, who all use different mediums (from social media, photography and film) to capture accurate and authentic representations of rural life, where women and kids feature just as much as the men:

• Phillipa Cameron - started an Instagram account called "What's for Smoko?" to connect with others, when she became the cook at her New Zealand sheep station. She now has 20k+ followers and a published cookbook of smoko meals.

• Kim Storey - a photographer and farmer in Eugowra, NSW. She created a coffee table book, called "What Does a Farmer Look Like?" to challenge the stereotypical images of farming in Australia.

• Gisela Kaufmann - a documentary film maker, based in Sydney who created "Visible Farmer," after being shocked to find out how under represented women on farms have historically been in agriculture.

These women share why they're so passionate about changing the face of agriculture, as well as their advice on how to tell your own story and the story of others who inspire you.
