Welcome back to the Labeller Podcast, the podcast where we take back the label gun, look at the labels inside and talk about why they're there and how we feel about them. This season, we are looking at the label of activist.
This week, we have our first guest, Korra (she/they), as she talks us through what it's like being a young person and an activist, being compensated for your time, the love for fellow community and some tips and tricks for fellow young people who are interested in activism and advocacy! Oh, and there is a shout-out to Korra's mum too, because she is amazing.
So buckle up! And let's get labelling.
Big thanks again to Korra for sharing her experiences with us at The Labeller. If you would like to see more of Korra's work, you can find her on Instagram here.

Episode One: Acti-What?!
Welcome to the first episode of The Labeller Podcast! In this episode, Claire (they/them) talks about the dictionary definitions of the label of the season- activist. They start to unpack and asks questions about how we consider who an activist and wonders what who we would expect when we think about activists here in so-called Australia. What do you think? Who are your favourite activists and why? And… are you an activist?
