Tea Uglow: I don’t know

Tea Uglow doesn’t always know who she is. And she’s okay with that.

On paper, she’s the Director of Google’s Creative Lab in Sydney, helping cultural institutions around the world to push the boundaries of traditional practice. She is also, in her own words, 'proudly transgender, face blind and neurodivergent.'

In this episode, Rachel and Tea catch up about their student days (when Tea was called Tom), the expectations we all feel around our identities and, crucially, why doubt and uncertainty give us the freedom to learn, to grow, to change – and to trust.

'Embrace the certainty of uncertainty and work with it. No one really knows much after all.'
