Season 3, Episode 3: Motherhood

Crossings: The EWF Podcast

For today’s episode, Tabitha Lean, Ella Baxter and Gabriella Munoz will share readings themed around motherhood. We’ll hear one mother reflect on the pain of being separated from her daughter while in prison; a mother trying to talk about the pandemic with her children, and a new mother’s first days after giving birth in lockdown. Tabitha Lean is a Gunditjmara woman, storyteller, poet and abolition activist, and we feel really lucky to have her on Vignettes today. You can find more of her writing at therevolutionware.com or through her Twitter at @haveachattabs. Gabriella Munoz is a Mexican-Australian award-winning writer and editor based in Melbourne, Australia. Her essays and translations have been published in The Victorian Writer, Mascara Literary Review, Istor, the Sydney Morning Herald and many other places. She writes about migration, motherhood, adoption and popular culture. Ella Baxter is a writer and artist living in Melbourne. Her debut novel, New Animal was released in March this year.
