In episode five, it's an honor and privilege to bring you the interview with Michelle Deshong. Michelle is a North Queensland woman drawing her cultural connections from Kuku Yalanji clan. She grew up in Townsville and talks a little bit about what it was like to grow up in North Queensland in the '70s, the challenges that motivated her to be where she is today.
Michelle has extensive experience in areas of leadership, governance, and politics, and she has a strong commitment to human rights, and has also been a representative on many occasions at the United Nations. Michelle is passionate about ensuring that Aboriginal women have a voice in both political and public life.
"I could see very clearly that it was easy to make me invisible, and so I guess really if I had to say, it's about making sure that we are visible. And then as I got more involved in the political spaces, not only visible, but we are recognized, respected, and have fair and equitable access to things." - Michelle Deshong
