Talijah Blackman-Corowa
Brisbane
Summary
I want to break stereotypes and create spaces for my people to flourish and populate. My goal? To make my ancestors proud. I am a story teller just like them. I am a proud South Sea Islander and Traditional Custodian of the Gurang Nation. My culture is everything and it's been a journey of loss identity and disposition. I am still on that journey of healing and owning my self-sovereignty. I want listen in order to heal. I want share in order to help.
