How to find the courage to be seen – with Eliza Hull
EPISODE 6Ren and Eliza explore the power of representation, finding strength in difference and using music to speak up for change. It's a conversation about belonging, self-acceptance and recognising that you don't need to change who you are to deserve a place in the world.
Finding your voice sometimes means finding the courage to stop hiding parts of yourself. Award-winning Australian musician, author and disability advocate Eliza Hull has spent her life challenging assumptions about what people with disability can achieve — while learning to embrace the very identity she once felt she needed to hide.
“ I've always had a healthy sense of, I don't really care what someone else thinks.”
