Gunditjmara and Yorta Yorta woman Keicha Day talks about the connection between historical truth and liberation
“Having all the facts means not making the same mistakes again. When we say self-determination, I just think of the end goal, which is black joy, but never forgetting how far we've come. That sounds like all very kumbaya, but it's not for whitefellas. It's for me and my family to feel black joy.”
Gunditjmara and Yorta Yorta woman Keicha Day talks about the connection between historical truth and liberation.
We can't change the truth of our past, but by accepting and understanding it, we can walk forward together to a better shared future. For First Peoples and all Victorians.
First the talk. Now the walk. The true path forward starts here.
