This month, as we continue to celebrate Pride, we spotlight a quote from Magda Szubanski, an inspirational figure whose advocacy and creativity have left an indelible mark on both the entertainment industry and the LGBTQ+ community.

Championing Ideas and Change

Magda Szubanski, born in the UK and raised in Australia, is renowned for her work as an actress, comedian, and writer. Her iconic roles in “Fast Forward,” “Kath & Kim,” and the “Babe” films have brought joy to millions. Yet, her impact extends far beyond her performances. Magda has been a vocal advocate for LGBTQ+ rights, particularly noted for her influential role in the successful campaign for marriage equality in Australia. Coming out publicly in 2012, she has since become a powerful voice for acceptance and equality, using her platform to champion the rights and well-being of LGBTQ+ individuals.

The Impact of Ideas

Magda’s quote reminds us that ideas are more powerful than traditional leaders like kings and generals. While we often think of these figures as the ones who shape history, it is actually the ideas and beliefs they represent that truly change the world.  So be #Brave and #Determined to champion your ideas, challenge the status quo, and create lasting, positive change.
