| LBGTQ+ Let’s Get Behind the Questions with Nick and Nic | 06 Jun 2021 | 00:52:35 | |
WE DIVE INTO something a little different. I was interviewed for a great podcast show called the LGBTQ+ Let’s Get Behind the Questions PODCAST . I GO DEEP with hosts Nic Hennessy and Nick Christian and I’m sharing this episode with you. So who are Nick and Nic? They are the dynamic duo who host Woolworths Group's first LGBTQ+ Podcast Let's Get Behind the Questions. This podcast is released weekly and it aims to educate Allies, and gives LGBTQ+ Team Members a voice by sharing their stories and experiences. Nic Hennessy is a Culture, Change and Talent Professional and Co-chair of Proud at Woolworths Group. Nic identifies as a cisgender bisexual woman who could probably talk under water, so naturally co-hosting a podcast is right up her ally. She was recently recognised with the 2021 Pride in Diversity AWEI Sapphire Inspire Award for LGBTQ+ Women for their contribution to workplace inclusion, visibility and support of other LGBTQ+ Women. She received this award on behalf of other queer women who have ever doubted their ability to create change & impact. Although they have very different 9-5 roles with Woolworths, what they both have in common is a passion for uplifting marginalised voices and creating a sense of connection and community with LGBTQ+ people and Allies. I was interviewed for episode 40 of their Let’s Get Behind the Questions podcast and thought I’d share it with you. Nick and Nic asked me a few questions, and I open up about :
It really is an important and informative podcast and hope you like it as much as I do. Connect with their podcast:
