Look, if you’re putting gelato in hot chocolate I’m probably going to order it.

I tried both the classic version with fior di latte, marshmallows and hazelnut croccante, and the new matcha one topped with matcha whipped cream and crumble - they slapped! 

The weather might be miserable but at least we have another excuse to eat gelato in winter 🤤

An unforgettable evening of connection, culture, and creativity with @madein_kin at @ellisonstudios .

The room hummed with an incredible mix of cultures, stories, creatives, founders and familiar faces, all brought together by a shared sense of community and belonging. From the thoughtful panel discussions to the conversations that lingered long after they ended, there was a warmth and energy in the room that felt both inspiring and deeply personal.

Beautiful food, flowing spritzes, music drifting through the space, meaningful storytelling and an atmosphere that invited genuine connection. It was a powerful reminder of what happens when people from different backgrounds come together to celebrate identity, creativity and culture.

More than an event, it felt like a gathering of kindred spirits. 🤎

Thank you @paulinemorrissey and the MADE IN KIN community for creating something so special.

It’s International Face Equality Week.

These stats on discrimination, unwanted comments and staring are from the UK, but I suspect they’d be very similar here in Australia, and possibly higher in countries where facial difference is even more feared and stigmatised. 

18% of adults with a facial difference have avoided restaurants, bars, pubs, cafes, hotels, or nightclubs.

10% of adults with a facial difference have been subjected to unwelcome behaviour about their appearance in an eating/drinking establishments.

12% have experienced unwelcome comments or questions in a shop, some of these comments are from retail staff. 

94% of people with a visible difference say it affects their confidence.

Going out to eat and shop are two of my favourite things to do, but unfortunately retail and hospitality spaces haven’t always been safe for me. And so I’m encouraging retail stores and hospo venues to take the pledge to ensure customers with facial differences are treated with dignity in restaurants, cafes, bars, and shops.

Let’s reclaim public spaces and ensure everyone has a seat at the table.

Pledge: faceequalityinternational.org/seen-and-served-pledge/

(Note - all of the restaurants, cafes and shops I featured here have been safe spaces for me!)

A celebration of @madein_kin’s launch with our Melbourne-based Creative Directory – a collective of creatives of colour with migration stories, pushing the needle in Australian media.

Growing up, many of us were the only brown or black kids at school. That’s not something we’re willing to accept in our industries as adults.

Many more tables to come – pull up a plastic chair and join us. 🤎

To kick off the new year, @madein_kin hosted its very first Portrait Pop-Up in Naarm (Melbourne) – bringing together our inaugural lineup for our Creative Directory. The shoot marked our first IRL gathering after months of quiet outreach, private DMs and late-night emails sent with crossed fingers.

The holiday season is one of the busiest times of year, and for the hospitality industry bookings can increase by 40-50%.
 
Sebastian Pasinetti explains that during this busy period some customers are on edge even before stepping foot through the door.

Dedicated to fostering safe, mentally healthy spaces—and advocating for LGBTIQA+ and BIPOC inclusion in hospitality—Sebastian reminds us to stay mindful, even when outside pressures are high.

Video Description - Sebastian is interviewed inside his cafe in Melbourne/Naarm. There’s vision of him making coffees, interacting with staff, setting tables and serving food. There's also vision of other staff serving customers and cooking in the kitchen.

October is Mental Health Awareness Month - and this year’s theme is Lived Experience Leads the Way.

Every day this month, I’ll be sharing a community leader’s self-care ritual, showing that taking steps on your wellbeing journey doesn’t have to be big to be meaningful.

Next up: Anushka - One of my favourite mental health professionals on my socials and founder/psychologist at @umeedpsychology - Anushka shares how intentionally making tea from scratch and sharing it with loved ones is a positive step to take in managing your mental health 🫖☕️❤️

Head to the link in my bio to donate. Every dollar helps, and the best way to double that help is to share this post. Let’s build a movement, one step at a time.

🧠❤️
