In this episode of the Black Magic Woman Podcast, I sit down with the talented group Dem Mob, a rising Indigenous hip-hop band making waves in the Australian music scene. Dem Mob, formed in 2019, began as a school project aimed at re-engaging Indigenous youth through music and culture. Today, they’ve transformed into a powerhouse collective, bringing Aboriginal language and culture to the forefront of their music, blending English and Pitjantjatjara languages to reach diverse audiences.
In our yarn, we discuss the group’s origins, their mission to inspire Indigenous youth, and the importance of integrating culture with education. They share how music provided them an escape and a path to empowerment, overcoming the challenges of mainstream education systems that often leave Indigenous students feeling disconnected. Now, with award-winning tracks and performances at major events like SXSW Sydney, Dem Mob continues to inspire and give back to their communities.
New Partnership Series Announcement I am so excited to finally announce a brand-new partnership series with ANZ. A partnership that is based on a relationship that dates back 5-6 years and is a demonstration of ANZ’s commitment to invest in and build the capability of Indigenous peoples, businesses and communities.
This series will feature conversations with business owners, suppliers, community partners and employees about their personal journeys.
Topics in this series will include:
â–ª Meaningful career opportunities within ANZ
â–ª Building the capacity of Indigenous businesses and organisations
â–ª Helping individuals in the broader community to achieve financial wellbeing and resilience
This partnership extends from the work I have been doing with ANZ around building cultural capability across the entire business and what better week to launch than NRW week!
