The Latest in LGBTIQ+ Health and Policy is a podcast that brings you the health and well-being hot topic discussions that matter to LGBTIQ+ people.

On this episode, we chat with Maria Thattil, Miss Universe Australia 2020, contestant on I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here, media personality, writer, speaker, and digital creator. Maria joins us on The Latest to talk to host Triana about bisexual representation and advocacy as well as her recently released book Unbounded.

The two delve into Maria’s past, her family life, and why she felt so empowered to come out publically. They discuss the challenges facing the bisexual community and what steps the individual can take to advocate for change even if that’s just amongst their personal circles of influence.
