Welcome to Mates and Dates, a podcast for young people by young people where we talk about the experiences of young people becoming independent and building and maintaining healthy relationships, including romantic, friendships and self-love (the most important relationship you'll ever have). We know communicating who you are and what you want takes time, so this podcast is about navigating the throws of life, from working through change to exploring identity. This podcast is an initiative of a collaborative group of organisations within the Northern Sydney region.

Knowing Me, Knowing You: Talking Identity with Maria Thattil

In this episode Ed and Dona dissect all things identity and sense of self. How do you know who you are? Is it a destination or a fluid process that is constantly evolving? To unpack all of this, we were joined by Maria Thatill. After winning Miss Universe Australia in 2020, Maria has advocated for inclusion and equality in her industry and beyond. She uses her platform to write, speak and create content around supporting diversity. That’s why we were so excited to chat with Maria about her experiences of being a first generation Australian and representing Australian beauty on a global scale.
