JAMILA RIZVI. HUMAN COGS.

ON PUSHING TO THE EDGE, NAVIGATING A NEW CANCER-TREATED BODY AND WHY WOMEN ELDERS NEED TO PASS DOWN THEIR STORIES.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Jamila Rizvi is an author, presenter and political commentator and writes regularly for The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, The Good Weekend and Sunday Life. She is also a  commentator on The Project, Today, The Drum and ABC News Breakfast, and the Chief Creative Officer of Future Women.

Described as one of the preeminent voices of young Australian women online, Jamila is a refreshing force for change, advocate for women, and pushes conversations and ideas to work toward a more equal world.

In this episode of Human Cogs, hosts Madeleine Grummet and Sabina Read talk to Jamila about her quest to push to the edge (and sometimes over it), the costs of living life at full throttle and her ongoing health battles with brain cancer which have forced her to confront the discomfort of living in her new body and grieving the old one.

Jamila reflects on her metric of success, never wanting to leave anyone feeling left out, and the value of passing down wisdom from women who have gone before.
