Adrian Malone, Cultural Practice Lead for Children Youth and Families (Anglicare Southern Queensland), talking about championing cultural connections for youth in out-of-home care. He emphasises the significance of maintaining cultural connections for young people in out-of-home care, stating that it ensures the preservation of cultural heritage and fosters the development of future storytellers and knowledge holders. Reconnecting or connecting young people with their cultural practices aids in healing, grieving, and amplifying the strengths within Indigenous communities, he said.
Mayrah Sonter, Director and one of the co-founders of Indigenous Business Month (IBM), talking about Indigenous Business Month celebrates 10 years in October 2024. Indigenous Business Month is a collective movement that celebrates and showcases the diversity and excellence of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesses across Australia.
