We are thrilled to announce keynote speaker Dr Anita Heiss.
Dr Anita Heiss is the author of historical fiction, commercial women's fiction, children’s novels and non-fiction. She is a regular guest at writers' festivals and travels internationally performing her work and lecturing about Aboriginal literature. She is a Lifetime Ambassador of the Indigenous Literacy Foundation and a proud member of the Wiradjuri nation of central NSW.
Anita was a finalist in the 2012 Human Righ...ts Awards for her memoir Am I Black Enough for You? and she was a finalist in the 2013 Australian of the Year Awards. Anita is a Board Member of the State Library of Queensland, and currently divides her time between writing, public speaking, performing Master of Ceremonies, managing the Epic Good Foundation and being a 'creative disruptor'. Anita's novel Barbed Wire and Cherry Blossoms was longlisted for the Dublin International Literary Award, and latest book (as editor) is entitled Growing Up Aboriginal in Australia.
Growing up Aboriginal in Australia has been the inspiration for the focus of this conference. Through this exquisite edited collection Dr Heiss reminds us that stories are such a powerful way to share what is not written, or what needs to be rewritten, in order that the true history of Australia is documented by her First People.
