EP 100 Embrace Your Story Fearlessly/ Yasmin Poole
Manage episode 378722311 series 3349462
Our 100th episode of Business in Colour is with Yasmin Poole, a public figure in Australia and globally known for her youth advocacy and activism.
Through this episode, we get a window into Yasmin the person and where this advocacy was born. She recounts being a busker at the age of 8; the GFC’s impact on their family business; her mother's story shaping her own story and finding her voice on issues of racism, sexism and classism. She recalls her reaction to Julia Gillard becoming Prime Minister, draws us into the National Press Club where Brittany Higgins and Grace Tame shared their sexual assault experiences; she shares her thoughts on Australia’s immaturity on gender intersectionality and as well as the barriers for young people in politics and in board rooms. She implores on us all to embrace our story, fearlessly to speak truth to Power. Please enjoy a leader of our time, Yasmin Poole.
