My great grandmother Isobel Propho, my grandmother Ruth Propho and mother Lorna Bropho Kickett are my greatest influences. M great grandmother lived to see 6 generations. I was privileged to hear her stories. Coral and Barbara
My mum Janette Hayden/Headland is one of my role models. She is very humble in her achievements. She inspires me to be strong and proud of my culture and identity. She is always there providing me with love, support and guidance throughout my journey. Mum's values for good, strong education is admirable and a legacy with her winning WA Aboriginal and Islander Education Officer of the year in 2017. She is a very proud Nyoongar yorga and uses her language program at Merredin college to teach culture and language to the students. I aim to be a leader by teaching the younger generations of young Aboriginal children to be proud of their culture and identity. Marika
My mum is Glenda Kickett, she raised me as a single parent while also studying for her degree, her masters and now her doctorate. She donates her time to the community and is an inspiration to myself and others. Mum constantly strives for the betterment of our community and as the NAIDOC Perth Chairperson, she inspires young women to achieve their dreams. I only hope to be half the leader she is in my future. I try to show our mob it's ok to have a laugh and have some fun, mum taught me that. I come from a strong cultural family, so at times I am culturally obligated to lead by example as my mum has done for me. Samuel
My nan is special to me, she's always strong, looks after me and my sister. Dontay, Ricky and Malachi
A special person in my lie is my mother Edith. She is a Stolen Generations survivor who has succeeded in her life and health. She is a respected elder. I really value community work and volunteering, my mum is still doing it today at 85. I believe we can be leaders by respecting our elders, continuing cultural practices, attending Aboriginal community events and being proud of who we are. Maree and Jodi
