A note from us at Bad Line
The design I've created represents our people coming together.
Men, women and children from all walks of life, getting up, standing up, showing up; with the strength of our ancestors and the guidance of our strong leaders.
I come from a long line of strong Aboriginal leader's on both sides of my family. My grandmother Diane Yappo, and great grandmothers Faye Thorne and Beverly Port-Louis, have been heavily involved in our Nyoongar community educational departments.
My grandmother Diane Yappo was recently elected to be a director on the Yued country corporate board, so I have had a lot of cultural mentorship from my elders, as well as mentoring from my mum.
Passing down cultural knowledge and Education is something we think is very important.
As part of the RAC Reconciliation Action Plan, my mum Danielle’s art featured on Transperth Busses and Billboard's around Whadjuk country. Now as a young artist I am following in her footsteps.
