## Resource

In this episode, Trisha revisits her conversation with Dr. Tanya Finnie, introducing it with context about Tanya's newly released book "From Shadows to Safari." What happens when someone grows up witnessing apartheid's segregation, yet is raised with values that challenge the system around them? How do early experiences of injustice shape a lifelong commitment to bringing people together across cultural divides? This revisited conversation explores the complex journey from South Africa to Australia, examining how childhood experiences of racism and cultural difference can become the foundation for transformative leadership in diversity and inclusion. In their original discussion, Tanya shares compelling stories about adapting to new cultures, from misunderstanding Australian dinner party etiquette to her unique approach of inviting strangers to share meals while travelling alone. Tanya's book "From Shadows to Safari" provides deeper context to the stories shared in this conversation.
