We all share a desire for the right to full and unapologetic personhood, but we do not share access to that right equally.

I acknowledge the traditional owners of the land now called Australia, and pay my deep respect to Indigenous elders past, present, and emerging for their custodianship of cultures, knowledges, pride, and guidance through and survivorship of the intergenerational trauma of colonial dispossession and oppression. I live and work on the unceded lands of the Yugambeh/Kombumerri peoples.
