About this listen
Olivia (she/her) is a Polish, Bosnian, Italian, Australian cis woman living with her wife and young child in a small town west of Albury-Wodonga.
In this episode, Olivia reflects on her experience growing up in a Catholic family and the challenges she faced while coming to terms with her identity as a young lesbian woman. She shares the powerful moment she first said the words "I am a lesbian" to herself and how that act of self-acceptance changed her life. Olivia also discusses her long career working with and for LGBTQIA+ young people, her passion for personal storytelling as a tool for advocacy, and the joy of raising a child in a close-knit regional community. From weddings to motherhood, intersectionality, and activism, Olivia’s story is one of resilience, love, and connection.
