Happy NAIDOC Week! 💜

This year marks 50 years of NAIDOC Week, celebrated under the theme “50 Years of Deadly.” It is a time to honour the strength of our communities, celebrate our cultures and stories and recognise the generations of the deadly Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people whose resilience, leadership and unwavering spirit have paved the way for where we are today 🙌🏾🫶🏾

But NAIDOC Week is about more than a celebration. It is about coming together. Sitting beside one another, sharing stories, honouring our Elders and strengthening the connections that have always been at the heart of our communities.

As we celebrate 50 Years of Deadly, I’m reminded that every story shared, every lesson passed on and every connection we make helps shape the future for the next generation. Together, we continue to keep culture strong, creating spaces where everyone can learn, connect and celebrate.

May we continue to gather with open hearts, listen with respect, and celebrate the richness, diversity and enduring strength of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, not just this week, but every day.

Wishing everyone a safe, proud and meaningful NAIDOC Week. ❤️💛🖤

One thing I absolutely love is when someone commissions a piece of artwork for someone else ❤️

There’s something so special about knowing that a person has put genuine thought into choosing a gift that is personal, meaningful and made just for someone they care about.

In a world full of quick purchases and generic gifts, a commissioned artwork carries a story, a connection and a level of thought that you just can’t buy off a shelf.

It truly is one of the most beautiful gestures, and an absolute privilege to be trusted to bring those stories to life ✨🥹💜

Sorry Day is not something distant in my family. It is deeply personal.

My Grandmother, my Mum, my Aunties and Uncles all carried the impacts of policies that tore Aboriginal children away from family, culture, identity and Country.

What was taken did not just affect one generation. It flowed into the next, and the next after that.

It showed up in grief that was never spoken about properly. In survival mode. In disconnection from culture and belonging. In broken family relationships. In silence where there should have been safety. In the racism our people still continue to face today.

As children, we inherited the effects without always understanding where they came from. Some of us grew up carrying sadness, anger, fear, disconnection and loss long before we had words for it.

People often speak about the Stolen Generations as though it is finished history. But for many Aboriginal families, the impacts are still living and breathing within our homes and relationships today.

Sorry Day is not just about remembering what happened.It is about acknowledging what families are still carrying because of it.

Today I held space for my family, for our old people, and for every Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander family whose story still aches across generations 🖤💛❤️
