Media personality, advocate and Miss Universe Australia Maria Thatill has dedicated her career to campaigning for diversity, inclusion, LGBTQIA+ rights, mental health and gender equality. There is so much to learn from Maria when it comes to embracing your true self, speaking up, and challenging societal expectations.
In this episode Jess and Maria dig deep on how Maria found her voice as a queer South Asian Woman, and why we need to have more conversations about uncomfortable topics. Maria reveals what happened behind the scenes on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here after she came out, and how her ‘hot’ relationship with Moana Hope has made her a better person.
