National Talk Black 270524
On todays National Talk Black via NIRS – National Indigenous Radio Service we have:
Jungagi, Indigenous Singer and Songwriter, talking about his new single “Gummy Bamarra” the first time to be heard here on BBM 98.7FM Radio. Australian First Nations songman Jungaji releases his next single ‘Gummy Bamarra’ on May 31, a dedication to his grandkids and the profound impact they have had on his life and his first in Gugu Yalanji language which originates from the rainforest regions of Far North Queensland. Jungaji and his band have been announced for events in Melbourne and Brisbane.
Dr. Ali Drummond, CATSINaM CEO, talking about International Nurses Day and International Day of the Midwife and Championing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Nurses and Midwives. As the world celebrates International Nurses Day (IND) and International Day of the Midwife (IDM), we spotlight the community of the Congress of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Nurses and Midwives (CATSINaM), who, as a collective, are critical to advancing Australia’s nursing and midwifery education and healthcare to truly benefit Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. The International Council of Nurses have declared the 2024 IND theme as Our nurses. Our future. The economic power of care.
Kim Walker, CEO of NAISDA, talking about NAISDA Welcoming Funding to Address Equity Gap for First Nations Students and Enhance Arts Education. NAISDA embraces the Federal Government’s budget uplift announcement as part of a commitment towards the eight national arts training organisations, commonly known as the Arts8. The announcement, which includes a $13m operational funding uplift for NAISDA over four years, addresses a history of significant underfunding in the arts training sector. NAISDA creates space and opportunity to learn, exchange, express and engage with culture, guided by the core values of empowerment, agency and self-determination.
