There's a new kid on the block! Introducing A Seat at Our Table, by your friends from the area, Tracy & Wendy.
We're two friends from South-West Sydney with dreams to make the creative industry a more diverse and inclusive place.
In our very first episode, we share our friendship story, chat about why this podcast is important to us, and discuss being Asian Australian in the creative industry. We also have some nervous laughs.

1. The significance of 'A Seat at Our Table'
2. Our 13 year friendship story
3. Being the only Asian in the room
4. Surprising diversity and inclusion stats from the creative industry
5. Asking each other some fun questions
