On todays National Talk Black via NIRS – National Indigenous Radio Service we have:
Diane Steven-Parters, Indigenous Engagement Officer at CQUniversity, talking about the event she’s hosting as part of CQUniversitys Deadly Connections Program – Buga Landima-L Black Excellence through Education Forum. Happening in Cairns on Friday 12th of April, this community engagement event is aimed at increasing the participation of mature-age Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, from regional, rural, and remote areas, in tertiary education. There will be four keynote speakers who are CQUniversity Alumni. Speakers will share their personal and professional experiences and stories regarding studying and what they have/are doing with their degrees….the why’s, how’s and what got them to where they are today. Information will be provided about the CQUniversity pathways, followed by a question-and-answer session over lunch. For those living locally to Cairns, you can find out more below on the flyer on how to register. Others living away can access the event via Zoom webinar by getting in contact with Diane- information below on flyer!

Danielle Snelling, Co-founder and Executive Officer of Motherless Daughters Australia, talking about how a new world-first study is shedding light on the impacts of mother loss on Australian women in an effort to inform future support pathways, with community reports that grief is being dismissed by society. While riding the waves of grief, Danielle decided to invest her time and channel her energy into creating the support network she would have liked available and to change the path for future motherless daughters. In 2013, she reached out on an American Mother Loss Facebook page with the hopes of finding a Victorian-based woman in the same shoes and who might share her vision to connect girls and women whose mothers have died. Danielle’s Co-Founder Eloise Baker responded and the two met where they discussed all things mother loss. It was here the idea of Motherless Daughters was born.
