For more than three decades Natasha Stott Despoja has been a kick-ass part of public life in Australia – firstly as our nation’s youngest ever Senator - sitting in Canberra’s Parliament House at the tender age of 26. Then in numerous government and representative roles, Natasha has consistently had a passion for the wellbeing of Australian women. Whether it was in her capacity as the former Australian Ambassador for Women and Girls or as the longstanding Chair of Our Watch – our peak body tasked with preventing violence against women and children - Natasha has simply always had our backs. And now at this time of social isolation - where domestic violence victims are more exposed than ever before – she has much to say about how we can all help each other to ensure women at risk are looked after. Natasha’s words of wisdom are what we need right now – so listen up.
Thanks for our partners at Mimco for making this episode of Finding Fearless possible.

From her signature husky full-body laugh and impromptu singing of familiar tunes by Mariah, Whitney (and even Billy Ray Cyrus), Jessica Mauboy is joy in motion.

The interview is equally uplifting and heartbreaking, and confirms why Jess is such an inspiring national treasure.
