S2E6: Chamorro Women with Dr Jesi Lujan Bennett

Håfa ådai

This episode we explore knowledge that has been passed down to Dr Jesi Lujan Bennett from her mother, grandmother and so on.

Dr Jesi Lujan Bennett also gives us an insight into diasporic experiences of being a Chamorro woman, from the Marianas (Mariana Islands), Guåhan (Guam) and wider Micronesia.

We navigate through talanoa topis such as:

• Chamorro's in Aotearoa
• Knowledges that lives
• Stepping into mentorship
• Positionality as a Pacific Islander
• Grandmothers and their gifts
• Observing and watching as knowledge
• Knowledge from communities

Talanoa mai, Kōrero mai

Reflexive prompts:

- What kind of listening would you like from me?

- How do we "take a beat" and acknowledge where we are at?
