On Unapologetically Brown, we explore what it means to be a Brown person today, and how it impacts our lives. From big picture concepts such as culture, race, identity and everything in between. Why did we start this podcast?To be honest, we realised there aren't many platforms for showcasing Brown voices in Australia; there is a distinct lack of content showcasing the minority perspective in mainstream media and beyond. So we looked around the place and said, there is no one really talking about the issues we face in a public forum, and we decided to take it upon ourselves and give it a go.
