Episode description

Rest, respect and radical rudeness. 

In this episode, Nana chats with Nyadol Nyuon. They talk about Black exceptionalism, selling out, being a public figure, being legally Black, being rude to men, the expectation to pursue social justice full-time, reconciling making Australia home as a Black African settler on stolen Aboriginal land, how being outspoken affects your relationship with your community, the shallowness of ‘African Australian’ storytelling in Australia, feeling like a fraud in the work place, generational survivalist mentalities, unearned respect, radical rudeness and the importance of rest!

The Subtlety of It is recorded and produced on the stolen land of the Wurundjeri People of the Kulin Nation. I would like to pay my respect to the Ancestors who protect this sacred land and live and speak through community members. I would like to also pay my respect to Elders and community members who are the ongoing custodians of this land and pass on knowledge of Country and the beauty of their cultures through generations. Sovereignty was never ceded. This land always was, always will be, Aboriginal land.

The Subtlety of It is about seemingly small aspects of our identity which affect us in not so subtle ways. Let's unpack these things - consciously, openly and unapologetically. Hosted & created by Nana. Produced by Awura Abena and Nana.
