AUSLAN - Walking with community as they lead
Lynore Geia |
TEDxCanberra
• September 2017
This video features Auslan (Australian Sign Language) interpretation. In this moving, lyrical and evocative talk, Indigenous leader Lynore Geia invites Indigenous and non-Indigenous people alike to embark on a new journey of shared leadership. Indigenous people are raising their voices: can non-Indigenous Australia listen? Dr Lynore Geia is an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander woman born and raised on Palm Island. A nursing and midwifery academic Lynore has a passion for Indigenous health, building family strength and Indigenous led community development. Lynore’s work with community has extended into the use of social media for public health activism and advocacy such as #IHMayDay an annual 15 hour Twitter event convened and moderated by Lynore in collaboration with public health journalist Melissa Sweet and other health professionals.
