In this episode of You are so French! I chat with Carole Sarasa, who is from the south west of France and is now based in Melbourne. Carole shares her experience working for an Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisation (ACCO). She explains how this chapter of her professional life changed her deeply and gave a new meaning to her life as a white immigrant in Australia. Carole is also a Board Member of the Alliance Française in Melbourne and is passionate about politics and culture. This is a special episode where we talk, among other things, about an important yet sensitive topic through our own experiences of French Australian women and with the humble hope to spark conversations in order to better know and understand the History and current reality of Australia’s First Nations. Bonne écoute!
