Dominating Diversity
I am a professional at a leading university that works tirelessly for equity, diversity, and inclusion. My website www.dominatingdisability.com already hosts so many blog articles from several writers on these topics. Welcome to my channel, because together we can dominate disability.
In these podcasts we explore why diversity matters, especially in Education, and how we just aren't there yet. In higher education especially, we encounter so much diversity with so many people thinking they are around diversity that aren't. I will also delve into Australian Aboriginal culture and how we aren't around this diversity yet either.

Strong Currents: Navigating Intersectionality, Rainbow Families and Survivorship
In this powerful and deeply human episode of Dominating Diversity, host Brooke Tahir sits down with Prudence — an acclaimed Educational Designer at Monash University whose life story embodies the messy, beautiful, and often painful intersections of identity.
From growing up queer in regional Victoria to navigating the complexities of chronic illness, survivorship, blended family, and cultural identity, Prudence invites us into the nuance of living a life that doesn’t fit a neat narrative. With honesty and grace, she shares what it’s like to be a stepmother in a rainbow family, a queer woman in academia, and a survivor finding strength in vulnerability.
Together, Brooke and Prudence explore themes of rurality, resilience, educational inequity, chronic disease, Jewish identity, political trauma, and the cultural costs of ambition. This isn’t just a conversation about inclusion — All people to embrace complexity and redesign systems that honour real, intersectional lives.
🔗 Tune in for a raw, resilient, and radically compassionate conversation that proves diversity is never just a checkbox — it’s a current we navigate every day.
