Episode description
Mitch Hibbens speaks frankly and openly about his relationship to alcohol.
Mitch Hibbens is a failed athlete, emerging academic, Aboriginal activist and part-time Drag Queen. He has been a performer all his life but has only recently stepped onto the stage. A Wiradjuri man and country boy to his core, Mitch currently volunteers his time as an Indigenous Rights Campaigner for Democracy in Colour. He is a Board Member at the local Aboriginal Health Service and is employed in the tertiary education sector working in Indigenous student support. As an emerging “Blackademic”, Mitch uses his writing to highlight unequal power differentials & racialized discourses to build collective momentum toward change.
