Suffragettes Podcast & Comic Book

Collecting the stories of woman who are making an impact in the world, this podcast will be a fun inspirational series highlighting the human spirit and condo attitude that many of the wahine in our beautiful country have. During in depth conversations with Nicola Peeperkoorn - a film producer and mental health advocate - we won’t shy away from th enough stuff, but we won’t focus on it either. Our lives are more than just our trauma, however our trauma has informed our lives, and every day we all pick ourselves up and keep going, for ourselves, for our families and most importantly for our children.

Travelling to the woman to capture their stories in an environment they are comfortable in, it is hoped that this will become a regular podcast tied in with Blindspot Busters other activities, however we are committing to six episodes to start with, the first being launched on Suffragette Day 19 September. The episodes will all be available via video, audio and transcript so people can engage with it in their preferred way.

For the woman who do not want to share their story via podcast, we will also be collecting short stories, poems, inspirational quotes, photos and art to form a comic book (or magazine) style book. Aimed to be at least an annual offering the book will offer hope, put a smile on peoples face and present relatable content for anyone who needs it.
