Righting the Wrongs of Damaging Racial Stereotypes | Allanah Hunt | TEDxUQ

Allanah is a Kurnu-Barkindji and Malyangapa writer, editor and academic. She is interested in social justice, mental health, Blak feminism, First Nations storytelling, queer identities and she is now writing about her disease of endometriosis. In her PhD, she explored affective learning, ownership of women’s bodies and Unremarked Whiteness, inserting an original Indigenous female superhero into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Her first book, Forever and Ever, has just been released and she had her book launch recently. At TEDxUQ 2026, Allanah shares about the power of language and why cultural sensitivity readers are about educating people on marginalised cultures and not censorship.
