Things You Should Know is a First Nations‑led explainer show where mob break down the systems that shape our lives – from money and housing to law, health, politics, digital and AI. Hosted by Wonnarua–Gringai woman Nikyah Hutchings and Aniwan/Dhungutti woman Yatu Widders Hunt, it’s a no‑shame space where questions are welcome and lived experience is front and centre.

In this episode of Things You Should Know, Nikyah and Yatu yarn with Blaklist models Shakiah and Jaminey Weatherall about First Nations fashion, as culture, representation and real work for mob. From trailblazers like Aunty Elaine George to today’s runways and platforms, they talk through how Blak fashion carries art, language and Country into everyday life. The twins share their journey as BlakList Next Gen models, walking Buluuy Mirrii’s opening show at Australian Fashion Week and fronting campaigns, and what it means to wear First Nations designs with pride and responsibility.
