Listen now
Description
To celebrate WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH, this week on The Nasty Woman Club podcast I'll be showcasing my favourite interview episodes. So stay tuned for more episodes this week from Monday to Friday. * * * * Hanelle Harris is the director, writer and producer of 'SIS' - an upcoming sketch show on Comedy Central. The show is dedicated to brown voices finally having their voices heard. Because often in the film industry movies and television shows that feature Māori people often stereotype them and tell their stories through a white person's perspective. This week on The Nasty Woman Club podcast host Demi Lynch spoke with Hanelle about how the media can influence our bias towards people of different cultures, backgrounds and races. She said having white perspectives speak on the behalf of Māori people dehumanises them and can encourage discrimination, in particular racial profiling. The filmmaker also discussed how colonised countries need to repair their relationships with their Indigenous people as many are still experiencing the after effects of colonisation.

The comedy sketch show is available now on Comedy Central The Nasty Woman Podcast is hosted and produced by TNWC founder Demi Lynch.
