In this candid episode, I sit down with Dr. Kathomi Gatwiri, one of Australia’s foremost Afro-diasporic scholars and psychotherapists. As an Associate Professor and researcher, Kathomi’s work dives deep into topics many of us are only beginning to scratch the surface—from racial trauma and blackness to the urgent need for decolonisation in academia and beyond.
Throughout our conversation, Kathomi reveals the actions needed to move from talking about decolonisation to truly dismantling oppressive and colonial ideologies. She explains how her ground-breaking research on blackness and migrant-hood helps redefine belonging and inclusion for African diaspora communities in Australia.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- What power means in practical terms and the actions needed for real change.
- How racial trauma impacts Black and migrant communities and the role of resilience in the face of inequity.
- Why anti-racist scholarship matters in reimagining the future for children, young people, and diverse communities.
If you’re curious about how academia and community work can merge to drive change, or want to understand the lived experiences behind these terms, you won’t want to miss this candid conversation with Dr. Kathomi Gatwiri.
