77-81 Giles Road, Redland Bay, Queensland

My ancestors arrived to Australia, uninvited from Scotland, Ireland and England only a few hundred years ago. They brought with them colonial practices and histories of violence, oppression, displacement and harm. I intend to cultivate capacity and develop ways to be increasingly response-able to the legacies of harm my ancestors brought with them. I intend on being a different kind of ancestor for those coming.

I acknowledge and pay respect to all Indigenous peoples. I acknowledge and am deeply grateful to Mayi-Yapi Aboriginal people and other tribal groups of the Mayibic Gulf whose country held, comforted, sustained and enlivened me in my early years, the greatest privilege of my life. I acknowledge and pay grateful respect to Turrbal, Yuggera, Yugambeh & Quandamooka peoples, whose homelands I am living and working within today.
