“Cultural Competency” with Alana Kennedy

Culturally competent.

The question is, do you think you are culturally competent on our Australian history, culture and considerate of our First Nations people?

Soon there will be a VOTE YES or VOTE NO pamphlet in your mailbox for the Australian Referendum to vote for or against constitutional change to recognise the First People of Australia. As the news continues to ramp up and varying commentary is shared, it creates the question to those sitting in privilege, ‘how aware are you?’ Bec and Zoe speak with Alana Kennedy, Founder & CEO of Ochre Sun, an ethically sourced SPF Sunscreen made from Native Australian Botanicals, with an all Indigenous supply chain, who walks us through her journey in embracing her heritage, stepping away from the corporate world to return and contribute to her community.

And in her little spare time, how she helps people understand her community through historical facts, and a place of love, to grow together and move forward to a better future.
