Melanated in Melbourne

Advocacy and Activism, Community, Health, Thorne Harbour Health (VAC)

Melanated in Melbourne chronicles the lives of co-hosts Nicole and Ri’chard, two Black Americans living in Australia, as they navigate what it means to be a person of colour in the great Down Unda.

Melanated in Melbourne intentionally amplifies the voices of historically disenfranchised individuals by primarily having LGBTIQA+ people of colour, both local and international, come on the show to share their unique stories, with guests ranging from psychologists to drag queens.

Nicole and Ri’chard join Jack to discuss why they started the show, some highlights from the first two seasons, and what themes they intend to explore in Season 3 next year.

Check out our other JOY Podcasts for more on LGBTIQ+ health and wellbeing at joy.org.au/wellwellwell.

If there’s something you’d like us to explore on the show, send through ideas or questions at wellwellwell@joy.org.au

Find out more about LGBTIQ+ services and events in Victoria at thorneharbour.org and in South Australia at samesh.org.au.
