For this episode I'm joined by singer-songwriter, instrumentalist and proud Gamilaraay man Mitch Tambo. Mitch is passionate about using his voice to stop us from turning our heads away from the pain of his people and instead look at what we can do to make a difference.  But did you know Mitch faces racial abuse on social media every day?

This conversation is about his experience, and why we need to continue shedding light on the rampant abuse and bullying that people endure online as we tackle the BIG Question How do you remain true to who you are, and block out the noise and haters?

Mitch’s latest song Yugal Yulu-gi is all about  “celebrating life, whilst letting go of the weight and pressures of the world, celebrating with your people,”available to stream or download wherever you get your music, and you can keep up to date with everything Mitch by following him here
