Listen "Colourism: Casting of Nani in Lilo & Stitch just the tip of the iceberg "
Episode Synopsis
This edition of Sista's Let's Talk was a repeat of the program broadcast on 15th June 2023Casting a light-skinned woman to play a brown character in a Disney movie is one version of colourism, but in the Pacific it's just the tip of the iceberg.Polynesian voices have managed to find their way to the mainstream - even though it is still problematic - but has that been at the expense of people from the Melanesian and Micronesian regions?Surely there's space for all of us to represent and tell our stories.
