Black Magic Woman

The Indigenous Leadership Summit 2024 Melbourne was more than an event; it was a springboard for impactful change. This event united Australia’s most influential minds to engage in bold and transformative conversations. Speakers explored and addressed the critical issues surrounding Indigenous careers, leadership advancements, and integration across all sectors.

In this episode, recorded at the Indigenous Leadership Summit 2024, I yarn with Aunt Leah Purcell & Kaylah Truth. These two deadly women share a special bond and I had the absolute pleasure of hearing about each of their journeys that intertwined into a beautiful story of mentorship and sistahood.

🌱 Be inspired by the guidance of mentors like Aunt Leah Purcell, a proud Goa-Gunggari-Wakka Wakka Murri woman from QLD, who at the time was the artistic director at ACPA. Kayla is a Meerooni woman of the Gurang nation, who’s also connected with the Ngugi people of Queensland’s Quandamooka area. She reflects on her evolution from dance to music and acting, leading to her vibrant career in the music industry and entrepreneurial ventures in Melbourne.
