The revolution has always been in the hands of the young
No matter what young Aboriginal people do we will be labelled as the troublemaker in the eyes of the coloniser in our protests, writing, in school, as parents and as a community member.
I was inspired by young blackfullas making media for black audiences
My nan Sandra Onus and my mum Tracey Onus would always take me to rallies or protests. I remember when I was 19, I went with my mum and aunties and jumped in the car and we drove to Ngunnawal country (Canberra) for Invasion Day and the 40th anniversary of the Aboriginal Tent Embassy.
