Angelica Ojinnaka-Psillakis grew up in Sydney, famous for its coastline and beachside existence. But for reasons beyond her control, she didn't learn to swim until she took the plunge as an adult.Angelica Ojinnaka-Psillakis has achieved a lot in her young life.She is a social researcher at Western Sydney University, she has represented Australia at the United Nations, she advices groups like UNESCO and a couple of years ago she was awarded the NSW Premier's Youth Medal.But for her family, Angelica's greatest achievement is learning to swim as an adult.Australia has a sense of itself as a nation of swimmers, and presents this image to the world in its tourism campaigns, films and ownership of the pool at the Olympics.But in reality, a quarter of Australian adults are very weak swimmers or cannot swim at all, including Angelica, who grew up in Western Sydney, the eldest of nine siblings in a big, blended family.Instead of going to swimming lessons after school, Angelica spent a lot of her time helping to take care of her little sisters and brothers, one of whom lives with severe disabilities.It wasn't until she was in her mid-20s that Angelica had the time to learn how to swim, so she could finally understand the calming and cooling effects of the water.Angelica's podcast documenting her quest to learn to swim as an adult is called Sink or Swim and was produced by Impact Studios.You can stay up to date with what Angelica is up to at her website.This episode of Conversations explores swimming, royal surf life saving, drowning, learning to swim, beaches, Sydney, Bondi, Western Sydney, Blacktown, Randwick, pools, public pools, climate change, summer, hot summers, carers, family dynamics, divorce, Nigeria, first generation Australians.

Church planting in multicultural Australia is no easy feat, but Rob and Sally are embracing the challenge in Blacktown, one of Sydney's most diverse and rapidly growing regions. With 410,000 people and not enough churches, their mission is clear: to bring the gospel to those who have never heard it. They talk about the importance of representation in leadership, the spiritual battles they've faced, and the deep joy of seeing people step into ministry roles they love.  CREDITS:The Reach Australia Podcast is brought to you by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Reach Australia⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠To pray for Reach Australia, join our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠WhatsApp Group⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.For ideas or questions please email ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠resources@reachaustralia.com.au⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠To support the Reach Australia Online Library head ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Price data for Sydney provides a striking example of why it's so important not to generalise about property markets.   According to the big-name research sources, Sydney prices grew only a few percent overall in the past 12 months, but individual precincts within Greater Sydney have recorded price growth at boom levels.   Unfortunately for people trying to make informed real estate decisions, economists and journalists like to speak about “the Australian property market” and forecast what will happen with “Australian house prices” in the year ahead.   This is not only worthless information for Australians consumers, but it shouts very loudly that the economists and journalists making those generalisations know very little about residential real estate.   Even data on “Sydney house prices” is misleading and next to useless, because it tells us nothing about what's happening in the Northern Beaches suburbs or in the many locations within the Canterbury-Bankstown LGA or out at Blacktown or further west at Penrith.   Because some of the individual precincts within the Greater Sydney metropolitan area have booming property markets.   According to PropTrack data, Sydney's median house price grew just 2.5% in the past 12 months, but Hotspotting analysis shows that most of the suburbs in the City of Canterbury-Bankstown rose by 12-15% and some suburbs increased more than 20%.    Several of the unit markets in this LGA have also recorded double-digit growth in their median prices.   It's because this precinct is an out-performer within the Greater Sydney area that we have been featuring it as one of our main recommendations for Sydney over the past 12 months or so.   In the Bayside LGA, another market we have recommended in our Top 5 Sydney Hotspots report recently, many suburbs have recorded median price growth well above 10% in the past year – and this includes both house and unit markets.   It's worth remembering that more than half of all sales across Greater Sydney now are attached dwellings – units, townhouses, apartments. The market share of houses on land has been falling steadily over the past 12-18 months and now attached dwellings dominate.   Several of the unit markets in the Bayside LGA, including some that have median prices in the $700,000s, have recorded double-digit annual price growth in defiance of the average results for Greater Sydney.   It's true also of the Inner West LGA, which is increasingly dominated by attached dwelling sales. The median house price in most suburbs is well above $2 million, but many suburbs have median unit prices in the $800,000s and $900,000s – and some of those have recorded median price growth in the 7% to 12% range in the past year.   Again, this is well above Sydney averages – and it highlights the key message, that real estate is local in nature and that buyers should be focusing on the areas that are likely to perform city norms.   And 2025 will be no different.

What is ESG? It's Florida Republicans latest effort to distract from the spiraling living conditions in the state created under their watch by scaring white voters into believing a "woke agenda" threatens their way of life.This week's episode centers on Eatonville, the first all-Black town in America, incorporated in 1887. Craig recently focused one of his Florida Phoenix columns on efforts by residents there to fight off a development project for what is known as the Hungerford property, land Eatonville residents believe was stolen from them by the Orange County Public Schools. Our guests are Julian Johnson, founder of the 1887 First brand, and John Beacham, owner of Eatonville 1887 tours.SPOILER ALERT: John, Julian and the Eatonville residents have prevailed for now, forcing the developer of the Hungerford property to back out of the deal with Orange County Public Schools.You can support "Welcome to Florida" by becoming a monthly patron at Patreon.com/WelcometoFlorida.

Day 10 Of all the Black towns started in the West during Reconstruction, only one still exists… Do you know where it is? Y'all I tried to Google it. … an address for you. But ain't no addresses. It's just… Nicodemus, Kansas 67625 NicoDEMus!!! I first saw the name in Washington, DC at the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture. It was a beautiful way sign pointing to the famous township. Somehow, this sign was miraculously recovered through post-Reconstruction terror, the Dust Bowl of the 1930s, AND the Great Depression. There it was - a beautiful relic of Black history (so grateful for archeologists). You see, I was born in Kansas, plus “Nicodemus” sounded Black as H, so I was pumped to learn more. I googled the population today. 14 people. Wait...14? In 2020, it was 54. One chart says 5. Who are these people holding down our history? What are their names? What are their mama's names? How many generations have their families lived there? Do they have a post office? I can't wait to tell you the story and circumstances of this beautiful town. The history will give you a deeper understanding of the founding of all Black towns in the West.
