Tony and Sharon Paradies share how recognising their cultural similarities and differences laid the foundation for more than 40 years of marriage.


Key Points

  • Tony Paradies is Filipino, while his wife Sharon is Indigenous Australian.
  • Because Sharon is 'white passing', a darker-skinned Tony had a harder time 'socialising'.
  • To know the importance they place on their cultural identities is to also know the value they place on family.

A big thank you to TJ Correa for editing the episode.
