My business is all about…..

Creating Indigenous educational films to share with our communities and to bring awareness of our rich and diversity cultures around Australia.

The thing that motivates me the most is……

Being a positive voice and a role model for my people. Promoting awareness of my cultural to the rest of the world and being a cultural link.

The most courageous thing I have done so far in my life is…..

Leaving my community to chase a career. Leaving my family and support to travel around Australia and around the world. But what got me through is knowing my culture connection to my people and my country. And Secondly was publishing my first book with Melbourne Publishing Company Hardie Grant. That was a big challenge, but what motivated me was to provide information about bush tukka from an Indigenous woman’s point of view.

The biggest lesson I have learnt to date is……

To dream big and don’t let anyone stand in your way. Learn how to stand on my own two feet and not to rely on anyone, knowing I can take care of myself.

If I had to give other entrepreneurs a piece of advice, it would be……..

If your dream is important to you, do whatever it takes to make it come to reality. Find a niche in the market and go for it. Work hard and focus on what is important to you. Establish a good name for yourself and believe in yourself first and foremost and don’t be afraid to take risks.

My favourite quote / or something I really believe in is…..

Your life is what you make of it. Believing in riches will bring you riches, believing in poorness will bring your poorness. Life is an endless supply of abundance, be clear of what you say and think, because you will manifest it.
