From a Child Refugee to Working with Queen Bey - A Story of Resilience with Aweng Chuol

Hey Lifers,

Today we've got a big ol' announcement to make!
We are doing a live show tour in October!

We're hitting up Adelaide, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Auckland, Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne and Perth! Details will be added here once we have links but for now, jump on to our Instagram for all of the details!

Laura moved house, and the jury isn't decided on whether a box of 'personal' items should have been unpacked or not. Britt gives us an update on her egg freezing & fertility journey. If you'd like to listen to the episode we did 2.5 years ago about egg freezing you can here!

Joining the podcast today is South Sudanese Australian model, actress and artist Aweng Chuol. Aweng's story is a big one to summarise.
She lived in a refugee camp in Kenya before coming to Australia when she was 7.
Aweng is the oldest of 12 kids; her mum was only 15 when she was born, her dad a child soldier, her grandfather a pastor.

Aweng was working at fast food restaurants when she was scouted. She has gone on to model for some of the world's biggest brands and worked with the likes of Rihanna and Beyonce.

In this chat we speak about:

  • Being a Black, queer woman and having her community turn on her
  • Forgiving parents and giving them grace for the wrong decisions they made raising us
  • Healing from generational trauma
  • Love not being enough, resilience and perspective

You can follow Aweng on instagram here!

If you have an accidentally unfiltered, your most embarrassing story, please send it on it to life uncut podcast on Instagram here
