We’ll miss you Lanisha and wish you well in the next leg of your journey!

In case you missed it: Excerpt from the NAIDOC Week National Press Club of Australia address. In Conversation with Mikaela Jade, Mayor Vonda Malone, Andrea Mason and Brooke Boney.
"I can, do and should do my work in technology futures and you should join me, because in a way our cultural futures depend on it. You see, we all know about the gap in education and health but you might not think about the chasm we are about to be in - the digital skills chasm. This is why technology futures for our tiddas is critical" #IndigenousExcellence @IndigenousDX

NCIE is proud to host the "Breaking Silent Codes across Australia and the Pacific" meeting today. Up to 60 women from Solomon Islands, Tonga, Fiji, Papua New Guinea and Samoa joined Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander and Maori women in discussions about responses to sexual assault domestic violence in our communities and creating a pathway for women to take a lead in this conversation about us.
The goal of the forum is to share stories of silence, broken spirits, resilience and healing, and to try and build networks to raise awareness, to educate and to change the cycle of violence and sexual abuse
Dixie Link-Gordon and Kowana Welsh are part of the organising group. #strongwomen #becauseofherwecan #IndigenousExcellence Women's Legal Service NSW UNSW
