Breaking Barriers and Embracing Change
Maminydjama Maymuru, a model and actress, broke barriers by staying true to her cultural beliefs. She credits her success to strong Blak women and her life coach, Jody. Juggling motherhood and caring for her grandmother with Parkinson's disease, she finds inspiration in her grandmother's strength.
A Trailblazer in Indigenous Crisis Support
Aunty Marjorie Anderson, co-designer of Australia's first Indigenous crisis hotline, embraced the challenge despite feeling overwhelmed. Her motto, "Fake it till you make it," has led to the hotline's success. Her tenacity and determination stem from her upbringing in Redfern and the generations of strong women before her. She was named 2025 NSW Aboriginal Woman of the Year.
