Racism In Our Own Backyard With Madeleine Madden

About this episode

Hello everyone and welcome back to another episode of After Work Drinks With. This week we are so excited to be talking to the incredible Madeleine Madden. Madeleine is an Australian actress known for her roles in Picnic At Hanging Rock, Dora and the Lost City of Gold and Mystery Road. But Maddy’s just as well known for her activism, something she’s been involved in publicly since age 13 when she became the first teenager to deliver an address to the nation as part of GenerationOne, an initiative to end indigenous disadvantage. As the great-granddaughter of Hetty Perkins and granddaughter of the most famous Aboriginal rights activist, Charles Perkins, Maddy’s passion for equality in Australia is second to none. We chat about the country's problem with racism, the lessons she learnt growing up in her family, why it’s so important to speak to each other about our different lived experiences, success and ambition and, surprise, surprise, RuPaul’s Drag Race.
