Undone The Podcast

Join us for a thought-provoking panel discussion from and event hosted in conjunction with Afri-Auscare. In this discussion, we explore the evolving nature of the African family in the diaspora. From navigating generational expectations to confronting systemic barriers in education and care, this conversation will unpack the complex realities facing families today.We’ll explore how culture, migration, and identity shape family roles — and how unaddressed trauma, silence around mental health, and a lack of culturally safe services can strain relationships, impact youth outcomes, and contribute to broader cycles of disengagement.SOCIALS:@ku.dzai @undone.thepodcast @impandeasource @afri_auscare

buymeacoffee.com/undonethepodcast How do family structures shape the futures of young people? In this episode we are joined by Nyasha who is a frontline worker in the family services sector. As well as Selba Gonodza- Luka, a community leader who works intergenerationally with families to repair ruptures. Together they explore the complex ways family dynamics influence youth outcomes. The conversation dives into parentification of older children, the hidden toll of migration stress and trauma, and the cultural clashes that emerge through different parenting styles. Together, we unpack how these pressures ripple through families and communities — and what it takes to create healthier pathways for the next generation. Full video available on YouTube !

On this week’s episode, we are joined by Navera Ari - a multidisciplinary creative. This episode is a celebration of creative fluidity and refusing to be boxed in. She shares her journey of moving between poetry, visual art, performance and beyond—without the pressure to pick one lane. We explore what it means to make art intuitively, to honour your evolution, and to create work that reflects who you are in the moment, not just who people expect you to be.

This episode was recorded at Baai Alkebulan for our live event. We sat down with Jimmy William, a mental health clinician and co-founder of Pentacle Group, and Orlando Green, a dual diagnosis nurse, creative leader, and Pan-Afrikan community advocate.
