🖤 💛 ❤️ 💙 💚 🤍

I embrace and celebrate the oldest culture in the world.

I respectfully acknowledge and honour the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Australians and Traditional Owners of Country. I recognise and pay respect to the past, present and future Traditional Custodians and Elders of this nation, their sovereignty, songlines, and the continuation of their culture, contributions, and connection to the lands, seas, and communities — in which we are privileged to live, work and create.
