Today I wanted to highlight some incredible writing from Western Sydney.And there is a wealth of incredible writing that comes out of western Sydney. Just recently I've received the collection Second City - Essays from Western Sydney published by Sydney Review of Books, The Magpie Wing Max Easton's debut novel about football culture and growing up in the west and now that I mention it I realise I haven't yet brought in one of my favourite releases of 2021; The Other Half of You by Michael Mohammad Ahmad. I will absolutely get back to that, it's an incredible novel. But today I want to talk about a collection from the literary collective that Michael Mohammad Ahmad founded. The collection is entitled Racism - Stories on Fear, Hate and Bigotry, it's out now from Sweatshop Literacy Movement and brings together more than forty writers detailing through their art what racism is in Australia.To tell you about Sweatshop I can't really go past their own description of their work and mission… “Sweatshop is a literacy movement based in Western Sydney which is devoted to empowering culturally and linguistically diverse communities through reading, writing and critical thinking.”Sweatshop have an wide and growing range of titles that broach the stories we so seldom hear coming from individuals and communities that are too often talked about but not to. They recognise that it is not enough to simply empower communities to tell their stories, those stories have to be out there for people to access, to read and reflect on.I want to try and tread a very fine line here, because I don't want to just be another person talking about these stories; I want you to read them and hear these voices for yourself.The works in Racism pose a simple but volatile question; “Are we a nation of racists?” I can already hear the angry tweets being penned; of course we're not, a few bad apples, we might have been but now equality. Sentiments that make us feel better, but in the middle of a lockdown that has seen a huge disparity in response and restrictions between East and South West, well I want to hear more than just the dominant narrative.The stories in this collection relate experiences and narratives that open up the range of individual experiences of this thing we call racism. Through short stories, poetry and micro fiction we are shown the slurs and the looks, the overt acts and the sycophantic attempts at inclusivity.What becomes clear through these stories is that while racism is exemplified in individual acts, it is established and codified in the ways we both see and choose to remain blind and silent when people are treated as other, whatever the supposed reason.That's enough from me. I want to leave the last word on this collection to its collectors. Winnie Dunn, Stephen Pham and Phoebe Granger are the editors of Racism and in their introduction they lay out that they “seek to provide a personal and intimate record from first nations people and people of colour across all ages, that demonstrates the pain, despair, confusion, complexity and rejection that comes from being the ‘other'.”

Learn to identify and accommodate your sensory differences as well as your child's. In this episode, Jodi Howe, Occupational Therapist, discusses the senses, including proprioception and vestibular. We talk about sensory processing, thresholds, and Winnie Dunn's Sensory Profile. Sensory seekers benefit from fidget toys, a rubber band, or a piece of Velcro under their desks. Sensory avoiders are helped by paintbrushes and tools that help them explore messy textures without over stimulating their systems. Understanding these underlying needs will help you decipher what your kids need and give them tools to self-advocate. Thanks, Retrospec Films for recording and editing the audio of this podcast!

As a mixed-race Tongan Australian kid growing up in Mt Druitt, Winnie Dunn thought her home was a place the arts came to die. She didn't access culturally diverse Australian writing in School or uni, and she'd never seen literature about Western Sydney written by people from Western Sydney. That's until she joined Sweatshop Literacy Movement - a project devoted to empowering culturally and linguistically diverse communities through reading, writing and critical thinking. Today she is the Sweatshop General Manager, the editor of several critically acclaimed anthologies, and her writing has been published in The Saturday Paper, Griffith Review, Meanjin, SBS Voices, The Guardian and Huffington Post.

Delicately balancing Hawaiian myth and the broken American dream, Kawai Strong Washburn’s Sharks in the Time of Saviours has been hailed by novelist Marlon James as a “ferocious debut” in which “old myths clash with new realities, love is in a ride or die with grief [and] faith rubs hard against magic”. Kawai joins Winnie Dunn to discuss his lush, virtuosic portrait of Hawaiian identity, mythology and diaspora that examines what it means to be both of a place and a stranger in it.

Mamahood is filled with so many questions:how do I help my child with their emotions?why do they have so many meltdowns?am I doing something wrong?Is it me?Through in a really tough year on top, and you have mamas all over the globe questioning who they are and whether they're doing it 'right'.This podcast, and all my work, is dedicated to answering those questions that keep mamas awake, and make them question their worth. Whether it's matrescence or meltdowns, we need this understanding so we can stop thinking it's 'our fault', and realise the very best thing we can do is work on ourselves and our own emotions, so we can be there for them.That's why I asked Heidi Garcia onto the podcast.Heidi is a mama to two based in Canada, and has been an Occupational Therapist for more than 15 years. In our community, she noticed a lot of mamas doubting themselves and feeling worried about their children, so she offered to bring some answers.What she shared was way more than that though -and in the end, it came back to what we already know:regulate our emotions, and our children will learn.If you'd like more insights into emotional regulation, visit Heidi's website. A great book to explore is "Living Sensationally: Understanding your Senses" by Winnie Dunn, and two great websites are: "Zones of Regulation" and "Self-Reg".If you are looking for more support with your children and their emotions, contact an Occupational Therapist in your area. And... for all the mamas realising they need to work on their own skills and tools to stay calm, you can now access my 5 Days to Calm online program - taken by more than 3000 mamas - for just $29 here.

Living Sensationally – How Understanding Our Senses Can Transform Our Relationships And Our Life with Prof. Winnie DunnAired Thursday, 7 July 2016, 7:00 PM ETWe all want to live a satisfying life, but what that means to you may be quite different than what it means to others in your life.For example, how do you feel when you bite into a pear…wear a feather boa…stand in a noisy auditorium…or walk past a perfume counter in a department store? Some people love the grainy texture of a pear, while others shudder at the idea of this texture in their mouths. Touching a feather boa might feel luxurious and sensual to you, while others will bristle at the idea of all those feathers brushing on the skin. And strong scents or noisy, busy environments will energize some people, and overwhelm others.Now imagine the tension and stress it could cause to your relationship if your partner needed to wake up to to bright lights, loud music, and the aroma of strong coffee to psyche them up for the day, while you required a slow, calm awakening with silence, dim lighting, and zero environmental stimulation to function properly.We rarely think about it, but we all have our own pattern of responding to everyday experiences such as these, and they can make or break our day. In her eye-opening book, Living Sensationally: Understanding Your Senses, Prof. Winnie Dunn explains how understanding our sensory profile and those of our children, colleagues and loved ones can not only help us understand our own and others’ behavior and choices but can also help eliminate misunderstandings, tension and stress that may be affecting our relationships at home and work.Join Sandie and Dr. Dunn as they discuss:• The Four Major sensory types – Seeker, a Bystander, and Avoider or a Sensor • How to discover your own pattern and those of your friends, children and colleagues and loved ones • How to eliminate misunderstanding, anxiety and tension in your relationships with family members, children and colleagues • How you can use this information to benefit your business or home life, or to pick the right kind of clothing, job and home and create a more harmonious and satisfying lifeAbout the Guest Prof. Winnie DunnDr. Dunn is Professor and Chair of the Department of Occupational Therapy Education at the University of Kansas. A member of the Academy of Research for the American Occupational Therapy Foundation, she is an internationally known expert for her studies about sensory processing in everyday life. She has published more than 100 research articles, book chapters and books, and has spoken around the world about her work, and is the author/ coauthor of all of the Sensory Profile measures, which capture people’s responses to sensory events in everyday life; these assessments have been translated into dozens of languages and are used for both professional practice and in research programs.Her eye-opening book Living Sensationally – Understanding Your Senses, has been featured in several magazines including Time magazine, Cosmopolitan, The London Times newspaper, and on Canadian Public Radio: http://www.kumc.edu/school-of-health-professions/occupational-therapy-education.html
