Blak N White Podcast
Blak N White with Tammy and Nathan Baart is a thought-provoking weekly podcast dedicated to educating, advocating and amplifying Indigenous perspectives and knowledges — especially in spaces where people are seeking to listen, learn, unlearn and relearn about culture, colonisation, leadership, allyship and reconciliation in Australia.
Hosted by Tammy and Nathan Baart, each episode bridges two worlds by exploring lived experience, Indigenous Ways of Being, Thinking and Doing, and the systems and dominant narratives that shape our relationships, workplaces, schools and communities. Rather than focusing only on problems, the series delves into practical actions, strategies and insightsthat support deeper understanding, connection and transformative growth.
Listeners can expect candid conversations on topics ranging from cultural narratives and representation to responsibility, identity, Men’s and Women’s Business, NAIDOC Week, cultural intelligence, and much more — all grounded in relational wisdom and designed to inspire respectful reflection and courageous action.
Whether you’re an educator, leader, ally, or curious learner, Blak N White invites you to walk together on a journey toward reconciliation, empathy and shared understanding.
WARNING: This may be triggering for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander viewers.
National Indigenous Times
National Indigenous Times speaks with Blak Ignited Founder Tammy Baart who shares the story behind What You Didn’t Consider… — a cultural safety card deck born not from theory, but from lived experience, repeated harm, and a deep sense of responsibility to name what often goes unspoken.
The article explains that the deck was created in response to a recurring pattern Tammy has witnessed across organisations: well-intentioned leaders and institutions wanting to “do the right thing,” yet continuing to cause harm because they have never been taught what they are not seeing. Tammy speaks openly about how cultural safety failures rarely come from overt racism alone, but from silence, avoidance, minimisation, defensiveness, and systems that privilege comfort over accountability.
Tammy outlines that the purpose of the deck is not to shame, educate in abstraction, or invite performative allyship. Instead, its vision is to slow people down long enough to listen differently, to recognise how systems behave, and to take responsibility for the impacts of decisions — intended or not. As shared in the article, the deck is designed to support courageous conversations, deepen cultural intelligence, and shift organisations from “we didn’t realise” to “now that we know, what will we change?”
Ultimately, the article details Blak Ignited’s broader mission: using story, truth-telling and relational accountability to challenge dominant narratives, restore balance, and create environments where Indigenous peoples are not required to armour up in order to belong. This work is as much about cultural safety as it is about shaping a different future — one grounded in responsibility, humility and care for the generations to come.
Association of International Educators & Leaders of Colour Conference
Keynote Speaker. Bangkok, Thailand
Tammy Baart – Unschooling Isn’t Radical — Schooling Is! captures Tammy Baart delivering the preview of the keynote address at the Association of International Educators and Leaders of Colour (AIELOC) 2026 Conference in Bangkok. In this powerful preview, Tammy challenges conventional assumptions about education and invites listeners to rethink what learning really is — questioning deeply held beliefs about schooling, children, and who holds power in educational systems. The keynote reframes schooling as a colonial technology that prioritises control and standardisation, and calls on educators and leaders to remember, recalibrate and relearn through Indigenous Ways of Being, Thinking and Doing. Tammy’s keynote is both a truth-telling moment and a courageous invitation to imagine a future where education is ecological, relational, community-held, and grounded in cultural intelligence rather than neutrality and conformity.
