Listen "Backpack Full of Dreams, with Simangaliso Nyoni"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textCultural Practice Lead Simangaliso Nyoni joins the hosts to talk about cultural responsiveness in human-centred work. Beginning with an Acknowledgement of Country, the conversation explores why language matters, how to decolonise documentation and practice, and the discipline of deep listening. Simangaliso shares her journey from Zimbabwe to Australia at 19, a backpack-full-of-dreams story of courage, representation, and leadership responsibility. A practical takeaway: shift from calling out to calling in, so change lasts beyond the room.Guest: Simangaliso Nyoni, Cultural Practice Lead, MacKillop Family ServicesProduced by: The MacKillop InstituteIf themes in this episode affect you, support is available in Australia: Griefline 1300 845 745, Beyond Blue 1300 22 4636, Lifeline 13 11 14.Support the showWe hope you enjoyed this episode of That’s TMI: The Meaningful Insights Podcast.
