SERVED WITH RICE

Welcome to our first official episode of SERVED WITH RICE, with Jackie Lee Morrison, Emma Pei Yin, and Jacquie Pham!

SERVED WITH RICE is a literary and cultural podcast dedicated to amplifying marginalised voices through intimate, food-infused conversations about books, publishing and identity. Set around the casual ritual of shared meals, the podcast merges critique, joy, and storytelling with sharp questions about representation in the Trans-Tasman publishing industry.

This week, our first guest is Tigest Girma, an Ethiopian author and teacher based in Melbourne, Australia, and the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Immortal Dark. Passionate about exploring East African characters and myths, her work weaves Black stories with the dark and fantastical. In her free time, she can be found rewatching her comfort shows where the villain gets the girl. She invites you to visit her at tigestgirma.com or tiktok.com/tigestgirma.

We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the lands on which we live, work, and record, and pay our respects to Elders past and present.

We also acknoweldge ngā iwi ō Māori as the Tangata Whenua of Aotearea New Zealand, and recognise Māori have tino rangitiratanga over the land, waters, air, and culture.

Tukua te wairua / kia rere ki ngā taumata / Hei ārahi i ā tātou mahi / Me tā tātou mahi / i ngā tikanga a rātou mā / Kia mai, kia ita / Kia kore ai e ngaro / Kia pupuru, kia whakamaua / Kia tina! TINA! / Hui e! Tāiki E!
