But can she get that same connection with Andrew?
FOR WEEK COMMENCING 12 AUGUST
When one of Wendy’s regular staff at the Waterhole calls in sick, Quinn is in the right place at the right time and takes on a casual shift to help out.
Over the day, Wendy and Quinn provide each other some much needed emotional support. And a visit from Quinn’s overseas family has him feeling as though he doesn’t fully belong in either culture, as a first generation Australian.
When Quinn opens up about how challenging it is to reconcile his identity, Wendy’s nervous about her mentorship starting this week and fears that doing badly in her mentorship will fuel the chatter that she was given the opportunity to service a diversity agenda.
In simpatico, the two offer each other well tailored support and their day of connecting culminates in a powerful charged moment. Rattled by the intimacy, Wendy breaks the moment but is left shaken by the emotional connection she felt with her friend.
Still dwelling on her deep conversation with Quinn, as well as their emotionally charged moment, Wendy attempts to have the same conversation with Andrew.
While Andrew is fully willing to listen to what Wendy has to stay about race and diversity and cultural belonging, he can’t fully understand, not in the same way Quinn can.
