To everyone - especially Megan Latham - who made a noise about child rapist James (Jimmy) Williams playing with Tyrendarra Football Netball Club, THANK YOU!
I.cannot believe it took a concerted effort by countless women and men to make this club understand platforming rapists is repugnant and dangerous.
Girls and women should never come second to a man's so-called redemption and sporting career!
โIf you donโt use your voice, people will speak for you, people will make decisions for you and people will judge you based on your silence.โ
- this was the life advice Leymah Gbowee got from her most memorable teacher.
Peace activist Gbowee had a university teacher that inspired and encouraged her to use her voice, speak up for herself and find her self-confidence. Gbowee was a hard working student but she never spoke up in class. Her teacher gave her an F on a paper, leading Gbowee to ask if he had even read it. A week later he returned the paper again - but this time with an A. The lesson her teacher wanted to teach her was to speak up for herself.
Gbowee herself has explained it as the "moment I found my voice" and says that this high school teacher shaped her into the peace activist she is today.

Throwback to when Kendrick Lamar stopped his performance at Spilt Milk festival in Australia to sing Happy Birthday to a young Aboriginal fan and signed a pgLang hat for her as a gift (December 2025)

CW: Discusses the death of an Aboriginal child.
The body of the five-year-old girl missing in Alice Springs has been found.
Her family has asked that she be known as Kumanjayi Little Baby.
This is a breaking story. I will update as soon as I can.
All posts identifying her have been removed across all my digital assets.
Rest in Power little sister. โค๏ธ
Nice to have mum come along to Adelaide last week for my keynote address at the KWY conference - good to get a professional shot of us too.
My mum wasnโt even a citizen of her own country when she was born. In 1962 she had to go to court to obtain citizenship-and had to renounce her culture for it.
She still managed to close the gap for all five of her children in one generation.

I once had a boyfriend tell me that if I tried, I could force my period out in one day, because the uterus is a muscle. This is why men shouldn't be legislating women's reproductive health.
A woman died in a park at Broadbeach, Queensland, this week. She had a terminal condition. She was homeless. She should have been in a hospice receiving palliative care.
Police are yet to determine if she was murdered.
How, in a country as rich as our's, can a dying woman be left to sleep rough?
This shit is fucked.
Two First Nations cousins and doctors-to-be crossed the stage at the graduation ceremony in Rockhampton as they completed the first leg of their seven-year study journey to practicing medicine.

NSW Health is reminding holiday makers as well as local residents to protect themselves from mosquito bites this summer season, following the recent detection of Japanese encephalitis (JE) virus and Murray Valley Encephalitis (MVE) virus.
When white people are assaulted or shops are broken into in the NT, the PM visits, the chief minister cracks down and interstate police are deployed. When a domestic violence survivor who has black skin is threatened by her abuser, this is what happens. NT Police left her to be raped.

2025 must be the year for change.
Menโs violence against women and children is a global crisis.
It is well beyond time that governments commit funding commensurate with the scale of the problem.
Anything less will fall short.
The cost will be women & childrenโs lives.
โจ Gisรจle Pelicot transformed her pain into purpose, and silence into strength.
๐ฃ๏ธ By breaking her silence about surviving sexual violence, she empowered millions and became the face of courage, dignity, and resilience.
Her message? Shame must change sides.
There is #NoExcuse.
