Facebook is a whole other ball game. Thank you to all followers and community who supported me. I’ve been in and out of meetings all morning with my phone going off. I have turned comments off, only for followers. Appreciate you all xx

Mannalargenna’s blood runs through my veins, I am a strong woman who is proud of where I come from and who I am.

Long before this country was called Australia, my ancestor Mannalargenna was a leader, warrior and resistance fighter. He lived during one of the most devastating periods of invasion and frontier violence our people have ever faced.

Mannalargenna is remembered for his strength, leadership and unwavering commitment to his people. He walked through a time when Aboriginal people were being dispossessed from country, yet he never lost sight of who he was, where he came from, or his responsibility to his community.

When I look at these images, I don’t just see a historical figure, I see family, survival, resistance. I see the reason why I stand tall in who I am today.

As an Aboriginal woman, I’ve faced a lot, the thing about knowing your bloodlines run deep into many parts of this country is that nobody can take them away from you. I know where I come from, I know whose shoulders I stand on, I know the strength that exists within my family line.

The same blood that carried Mannalargenna through invasion, violence and attempts to erase our people runs through me today. I am strong because of the generations of strength, resilience and survival that came before me.

My ancestors survived the Frontier Wars, they survived policies designed to remove us from our lands, our culture and our families. They survived so that I could be here.

When people try to diminish me, I remember this.
I come from warriors & warriors don’t stop because others want them to be silent, they keep walking forward.

Always Was Always Will Be❤️🖤💛

Never!! Always was always will be.

The only thing One Nation is selling is more anger – and a country where your neighbour becomes the enemy. 🤬

And the only thing that can stop this is a movement big and powerful enough to say no. ✋

We're looking for people ready to make a stand and become a part of our push back against Pauline, her hate, and her billionaire owners. We'll be in touch with this group shortly with some fun merch (we KNOW you want this as a sticker!).

And thanks to Nordacious for their amazing art!

Imagine being Kelly, a immigrant coming to this country and being apart of the problem. All you need to do is swipe right on these images to see who she aligns herself with.

Imagine reducing an Aboriginal person’s identity to a percentage. Imagine believing you have the right to decide who is “Aboriginal enough” based on blood quantum, a racist colonial concept that was historically used to control, exclude and erase our people.

What concerns me even more is that these comments don’t exist in isolation. They are happening in an environment where racism towards Aboriginal people is becoming increasingly normalised.

Across Australia, we’re seeing the rise of far-right ideologies, white supremacist talking points, neo-Nazi groups becoming more visible, and people willing to align themselves with or excuse that behaviour.

When people joke about Aboriginality, question our identity, dismiss racism, or decide who belongs and who doesn’t, they contribute to the same systems that have harmed our communities for generations.

My identity is not determined by strangers on the internet. It is not measured by percentages. It is grounded in my family, my ancestors, my community, my culture and my connection to country.

The fact that someone feels comfortable publicly discussing how “Aboriginal” another person is says far more about them than it does about me.

We should all be deeply concerned about a society where racism is being rebranded as humour, where hate is being normalised as opinion, and where people are becoming increasingly comfortable attacking Aboriginal people for simply existing in public spaces.

I’ll continue standing proudly in who I am. I won’t be shamed into silence ❤️💛🖤

For years I’ve shared culture the same way, through storytelling, art, weaving, community, conversations and connection.

I’ve spent countless hours creating spaces for mob, running community groups, sharing knowledge, supporting others and doing what I can to keep culture strong for the next generation.

Yet somehow, simply being a proud Aboriginal woman who speaks openly about culture, identity and racism is enough to attract abuse from some people.

What I’ve learnt is that the racism isn’t a reflection of me. It isn’t a reflection of my culture, my family or my community.

It’s a reflection of the people who feel threatened by Aboriginal people existing proudly, speaking truthfully and taking up space.

So I’ll keep sharing culture, I’ll keep advocating, creating, I’ll keep showing my children what it means to stand strong in who you are.

Because culture has carried our people for thousands of generations, and no amount of racism will change that.

Always proud. Always Aboriginal. 🖤💛❤️

Imagine people being so triggered for a women posting about how proud she is of her culture 😱

A year ago, I was preparing to welcome my daughter into the world. In a few weeks, we’ll celebrate her first birthday.

What should have been one of the most empowering moments of my life became another experience of trauma. I’ll share my birth story in my stories for those who’d like to read it.

As Aboriginal women, many of us know what it feels like to not be heard in healthcare. Our voices matter, and too often we’ve had to fight for them to be respected.

A year on, I’ve been reflecting, healing and finding purpose in my pain. It has strengthened my commitment to speaking up in all spaces, for myself, for our women, and for future generations.

As I watch my daughter grow, I thank my ancestors whose strength carried us here. I think of the women who came before us and the path they’re helping us create for those yet to come.

One year later, she’s thriving. And for that, I am deeply grateful❤️💛🖤
