Our performer line-up:

Team 20s: Paige Webster is a dynamic storyteller passionate about the Australian arts industry. After moving from the mid-North Coast in 2019, Paige found a community in Wollongong. She graduated from UOW in 2022 with two arts degrees (much to her family’s horror) and is now undertaking a Master’s of Screenwriting at AFTRS.

Team 30s: Mara Jean Quinn is a multifaceted writer, director, producer and actor. Her debut feature film, Andamooka, beautifully captures the raw beauty of the Australian outback and the resilient spirit of its people. With deep roots and a passion for sharing untold stories, Mara brings a heartfelt and evocative perspective to Generation Women.

Team 40s: Cath Blakey is an experienced urban and regional planner with a strong background in sustainability and community development. As a dedicated Councillor for the City of Wollongong, she advocates for environmentally responsible policies and inclusive urban planning. Cath’s expertise and commitment make her a vital voice in shaping a sustainable future.

Team 50s: Lisa Hughes, a designer from Wollongong, created an innovative vibrator that challenges traditional notions of pleasure products. With a focus on empowerment and inclusivity, Lisa’s work is revolutionising the sexual wellness industry by prioritising user experience and breaking down taboos.

Team 60s: Nancie Clisby draws from her rich tapestry of life experiences and healing journey to passionately support women on their path to holistic wellbeing. Her dedication to empowering others stems from overcoming personal challenges and finding joy in fulfilling her life's purpose. Nancie’s wisdom and skills guide women towards physical, emotional and spiritual growth, helping them live their best lives.

Team 80s: Dr Yola Lucire was a forensic and general psychiatrist for over 50 years. She has blown the whistle on the Social Security Conspiracy against the Greeks (1978), the Recovered (False) Memory epidemic of the 1990s and the epidemic of repetitive strain injury. She has a multidisciplinary PhD on iatrogenic disorders and has published seven papers in the discipline of safety pharmacogenetics in psychiatry.

Hosted by Tiang Lim. Produced by Donna Logue. Created by Georgia Clark.
