Manage episode 487083687 series 3662470
In this powerful and deeply human episode of Dominating Diversity, host Brooke Tahir sits down with Prudence — an acclaimed Educational Designer at Monash University whose life story embodies the messy, beautiful, and often painful intersections of identity.
From growing up queer in regional Victoria to navigating the complexities of chronic illness, survivorship, blended family, and cultural identity, Prudence invites us into the nuance of living a life that doesn’t fit a neat narrative. With honesty and grace, she shares what it’s like to be a stepmother in a rainbow family, a queer woman in academia, and a survivor finding strength in vulnerability.
Together, Brooke and Prudence explore themes of rurality, resilience, educational inequity, chronic disease, Jewish identity, political trauma, and the cultural costs of ambition. This isn’t just a conversation about inclusion — All people to embrace complexity and redesign systems that honour real, intersectional lives.
🔗 Tune in for a raw, resilient, and radically compassionate conversation that proves diversity is never just a checkbox — it’s a current we navigate every day.
