We're over the moon delighted to bring you this special Season 1 finale episode LIVE from the Hey Aunty! Live Show at ACMI! This was an absolutely magical evening with wonderful guests Namilla Benson, Leila Gurruwiwi, Hasu Kose and Leah Avene - who brought the incredible stories, laughter and truth that the, full-house, crowd held with energy so positive and uplifting that it was an absolute joy. Mz Rizk & Idil Ali kept the vibes high as we mingled and met new friends over drinks and nibbles. I heard friendships and creative partnerships sparking left and right. More black girl magic than you can imagine. I’m so excited to share this with you to top of an incredible ride for our first season. That’s a wrap for season 1, back with Season 2 in 2019! We are so grateful for your support. This pod started from a clear intention to connect our sisters and welcome everyone open to listening to black women sharing their stories in their own words. Your feedback has helped us know you’re feeling it. We love hearing from you, thank you! It’d be wonderful if you could take a moment to review us on iTunes, or share your favourite episode on your socials (tag us and we’ll mail you some HA! Swag).

We are SO READY to ask this next question: Hey Aunty! What makes you feel alive? Shantel delves deep with the wonderful Sister Leila Gurruwiwi. Leila is a proud Yolngu woman originally from Galiwinku on Elcho Island in North East Arnhem Land. A hugely popular broadcaster on SBS/NITV’s Marngrook Footy Show, as well as an Actress, ASRC Ambassador and Indigenous Support Worker at the Pavilion School. This episode is all about the importance of embracing our passions and prioritising joy. Essential self care in this busy world that’ll wear you out if you let it. I love hearing Sisters share their passions and Leila has a lifelong love of music that’s taken her across the world and out of her comfort zone, but kept her feeling close to home thought. Such a great chat, full of fond memories, encouragement and laughter.
Decolonising the Australian film industry and how First Nations people want to be portrayed are the current debates with Aboriginal and Torres Strait actors, directors and producers. Join our host Leila Gurruwiwi (from Marngrook Football Show) along with guest panelists; award winning author Uncle Bruce Pascoe, playwright and filmmaker Tracey Rigney and academic Crystal McKinnon in a provocative discussion on Aboriginal identity and the Australian film and television industry. Our panelists will explore how Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have been showcased within the industry and what needs to be achieved by Indigenous film and television practitioners to take control of their identity.
The courageous, generous and wonderful Leila Gurruwiwi certainly seems to be using her talents to be the best person she could possibly be.NITV’s Marngrook Footy Show has inspired thousands of Australians since its inception over 250 episodes ago, both indigenous and non-indigenous. She’s now mentoring young girls through the Wirrpanda Foundation, acted last year in the Logie winning The Secret River and isn’t stopping there! Leila is understanding that hers is a powerful voice that can be a shining example to generations of Australians.Another guest who opened up on her many setbacks and challenges she has bravely overcome, Leila’s positive spirit ensures she and many others learn from these with optimism and pride.“Lots of doors and lots of opportunities open for people and sometimes you need to step through that door. Fear is normal, everyone fears something and everyone fears change in some way, shape or form. Taking that step in to that unknown and all of a sudden you’ve got more opportunities that come out of that one step. The fact that I said yes to Marngrook at 19 years old has allowed me to do so many things up to now. Just because of that one moment in time. I could’ve said no and my life would be completely different to what it is now.”Learn more about Deadly Sista Girlz and Marngrook here.Not only do we support the same football team and graduated from the same high school, but also sang in the same children’s choir. My mum would suggest that’s a pretty decent grounding! I couldn’t resist including a brief chat about the mighty Western Bulldogs a kind of epilogue – we were both delighted to hear some pretty great club news this week. #BeMoreBulldog.I love variety in music and I love that Leila chose three songs from different eras and genres to the Ever-growing Playlist of Joy.
