Sipping coffee

I’m just another customer. Sitting on a chair in Starbucks. Drinking my coffee. I’ve just finished shopping for my son’s school lunches for the week. I am waiting for him to finish youth group.

A High Tea with a Difference

I have the privilege of working with an Aboriginal Aunty. Much like my own culture, Aunty is a term of respect bestowed on elders in the community. On Tuesday 18 June, Aunty Kathy invited me to a fancy Reconciliation High Tea at Baabayn Aboriginal Corporation, Mt Druitt. It was an event she helped coordinate. The […]
