#173: Dr Anita Heiss - Use Your Voice, Own Your Story, Tell Your Truth

I’m delighted to welcome Dr Anita Heiss to Sparta Chicks Radio this week Anita is a proud member of the Wiradjuri Nation of central New South Wales and one of Australia’s most prolific and well-known authors. She has written 18 books including her latest novel, an epic tale called Bila Yarrudhanggalangdhuray (or River of Dreams). It’s also the first time in Australia, a commercially published book has used a First Nations language for the title. Anita enjoys eating chocolate, running and being a 'creative disruptor'. Initially, I wanted to talk to Anita to explore her running career and how she uses running as a tool to support herself and her work. Yet the more research I did, the more I realised I wanted to speak to her about: - awareness, history and truth-telling, - the importance of getting comfortable with being uncomfortable and - the power of using your voice, sharing your story and telling your truth.
